President Muhammadu Buhari met with Ohanaeze Ndígbo and
south-east leaders in Ebonyi state on Friday.
The south-east delegation was led by George Obiozor,
president-general of Ohanaeze, at the meeting which was held at the new exco
chambers, government house, Abakaliki.
Ohanaeze, in a statement on Tuesday at the end of its
general meeting held in Abakaliki, had said Buhari’s two-day working visit to
Ebonyi would kick-start the process that will release Nnamdi Kanu.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has given assurances of peace and
security ahead of the planned presidential visit to Ebonyi State,” the
statement reads.
“This is part of the resolutions reached at the Ohanaeze
Ndigbo Elders council meeting held in Abakiliki on Tuesday 3rd May 2022.
“For translucence and clarity of purpose, President
Muhammadu Buhari has been fair to Ndigbo with federal projects irrespective of
the fact that his party’s declined fortunes and acceptance in 2015 and 2019
elections in the southeast, but the Chairman of Southeast Governors and Ebonyi
Governor, Engr Dave Nweze Umahi has brought good tidings and paid huge
sacrifices for Ndigbo to access the presidency and attract federal government’s
projects and attention to the southeast zone.
“The Elders council was presided over by Prince Dr Richard
Ozobu insisted that this is the best opportunity for Igbo leaders with the
southeast Governors to dialogue with President Buhari over the release of the
Ipob leader Mazi Nnamdi Kalu.
“Ndigbo expectations are that such windows of opportunities
must be fully utilized for positive results as President Buhari will be
received warmly by Ndigbo, this will be one of the most remarkable visits of Mr
President to the southeast, as we except that the President’s two days working
visit to Ebonyi state will change the narratives that Buhari loves Ndigbo, and
he will prove it by kick-starting the process that will release Nnamdi Kanu”.
“IPOB and other Biafra Agitators should hold their peace and
remain loyal to the procedure that will help them achieve the release of their
leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Buhari’s visit will usher in fresh hopes of having a
Nigerian President of Igbo extraction and secure the release of Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu.
”We are conscious of the fact that IPOB is cognisant of the
process of releasing their leader is ongoing, and their proper attitudes and
conduct are expected to solidify the process of Kanu’s release.
“We are welcoming
President Buhari with an open mind and wish him a pleasant stay in Ebonyi
State.”
