Okonkwo Urges Ohaneze Ndigbo Leader to Unite Igbos

The President of C21, an Igbo group established to unite the Igbo race and real estate development icon, Senator Annie Okonkwo has urged the new President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Chief Nnia Nwodo (jnr), to unite and return the Igbos as champions in the league of ethnic nationalities advocacy and representations in Nigeria.

Okonkwo, who disclosed this in a statement made available by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Collins Ugwu, said, “It’s clear to me and many, that given our new President’s regalia of references, this mandate is not about another feather to his cap, but a deep challenge to inspire and weave, a formidable nest of inclusion, respite and esteem for Ndigbo in their fatherland, and elsewhere globally.

“I am as encouraged as everyone should be, that we must end this fetish of agonies, and exit the imposed relegation as ‘tolerated lamenters’, because when the omen is bright, the harvest is right,” Okonkwo affirmed, adding that with support and sacrifice from all, the cherry is ripe for the picking.

Okonkowo, who is also the Chairman of Topwide Ventures, a property development company, however, stressed that the crying circumstances of our present must sting everyone to queue behind our new leaders, as they lead from the front to provoke the solidarity we need, and build the cohesion we desire by consensus and firm purpose.

“I therefore passionately urge all Igbo men and women to engage the gear of action now, so that we can detoxify our social space and halt our values slide, for a radical rebirth in integrity and character, a flourish we once loved to share and export” the senator pleaded.

“As I wish our team leaders early goals and quick wins, I challenge all our governors to please spare them the yoke of partisanship even as they support and work together for the bigger cake.”
