Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said it will
submit its worries, agitations and marginalization to God during the 2017 Igbo
Day celebration.
Chairman of the National
Organising Committee of the 2017 Igbo Day celebration, Dr. Greg Ibe, made this
known during a World Press briefing at Enugu, yesterday, when the committee
released the timetable for the celebration.
He said that Ndigbo had at all
times believed in God’s superintendence in their affairs and urged the Igbos
not to lose faith in God in their tribulations in Nigeria.
Ibe, therefore, urged the Igbo
people in all parts of the world to use the one week 2017 Igbo Day celebration
to rededicate their worries to the Almighty.
He said: “Our prayer points are
numerous. It ranges from justice, peace, equity and all that will bring us in
total belonging to this country called Nigeria.
“Against the backdrop of the
current challenges of Ndigbo and as a way of seeking divine solutions to these
problems, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has decided to use the annual Igbo Day celebration
for 2017 to mobilise Igbo across the globe to pray and seek the face of God for
Nigeria and Ndigbo in particular.
“All Igbo in Nigeria and in the
diaspora are enjoined to be actively involved in the programme.”
