Mr. Peter Obi has said that he counseled Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo organisation, to ensure the unity of Ndigbo and “pursue the core values and behaviours that contribute to sustainable nation-building that will lead to a new, peaceful and progressive Nigeria.”
Mr. Obi, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate in the February 25, 2023, election, said, in a tweet, that this is the same message he shares with other ethnic nationality groups, and stressed that he attended the Ime-Obi, the highest decision-making body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo as a solidarity visit, “especially under its new leadership, by Chief Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a respected Igbo Leader and Father.”
He thanked the Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who hosted the meeting for being physically present and prayed that the deliberations would be fruitful and will foster peace and development in the region and beyond.
Chief Iwuanyanwu was sworn in as the new President General of the apex socio-cultural organisation of Ndigbo at the meeting to replace Professor George Obiozor, the erstwhile leader of group who passed on last year.
