Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has said there was a deliberate attempt by “powers that be” to deny Ndigbo the opportunity of superintending over the affairs of Nigeria.

“There was a deliberate attempt by powers that be to deny Ndigbo the opportunity to superintend over the affairs of the country”, Ikpeazu said.

The Governor who made the remark when he hosted the leadership of Nzuko Umunna, a pan-Igbo political organization, in his Umuobiakwa palatial country home, charged Ndigbo to be united as a people and collectively advance the cause of the people.

Gov. Ikpeazu said that time had come for Ndigbo to become intentional about their strategic disposition in Nigeria.

Ikpeazu recalled that Ndigbo had made immense contributions to national development as they are found in every part of Nigeria but regretted that the conspiracy around the Igbos was very grave.

He made a case for Ndigbo “to leverage on their unity, compromise and understanding to craft and construct a pathway towards their political liberation”.

According to a press statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Onyebuchi Ememanka, the time has come for Ndigbo to be united against their common enemy instead of being divided against themselves.

“Ndigbo should not spend time-fighting themselves but rather forge a common front for their future in Nigeria”, Ikpeazu said.

The Governor further said there was a need for Ndigbo to reflect on their relationship with other ethnic groups in the country.

He advised Ndigbo to expand conversations around their political survival with a view to strengthening their relationship with other ethnic groups across the country.

Ikpeazu who failed his bid to go to the Senate after losing to the incumbent Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe pledged his unflinching support for Nzuko Umunna.

Earlier in his speech, the leader of the delegation, Nze Ozichukwu Chukwu said their visit to the Governor was to further discuss with him on the way forward for Ndigbo.

He said it was time for Ndigbo to come together and speak as one people.

The former National Vice Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, South East, explained that “Nzuko Umunna is a political but not partisan organisation”.

He lauded Ikpeazu for his courage to congratulate the Abia Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti, on his victory as well as for urging other candidates not to distract him with court litigations.

Former Minister of Women Affairs, Iyom Josephine Anenih, was also on the delegation.

ChEkWaSIyKe:
This is nothing but the truth. Wether Nigerians like it or not, an Igbo Presidency is the only way forward for Nigeria to witness a 360° turn around. Wether igbos rule Nigeria or not, they have absolutely nothing to lose and will continue to remain above other region in education, business, wealthy and lot more.

Deliberate attempt by who?

Who rules Nigeria is determined by how much you are able to convince voters all over Nigeria to support your ambition. Any candidate with the most votes become president

There are different strategies to achieve that in a multi ethnic society

Some do it by building bridges, Others do it by insulting people to vote them

Which one has been working so far

Congratulations to Igbo home and abroad. You have done it. But we need more sitting at home to be extended to Thursday so that our land can develop as Dubai 🤣😀

KingKO22:
Tell your people to stop politics of bitterness and Nzogbu Nzogbu politics

Your people have broken quite lots of bridges against other Nigerians with insult and attack physically as well as on cyberspace thinking only SS is their only ally that can guarantee election victory for them

muykem:
Igbo will never rule Nigeria until they stop foolish agitation for Biafra Republic, stop hatred for other ethnicity and rather build bridges.
