Nobody can push Igbo out of Nigeria –Ohanaeze

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has assured President Buhari that nobody can push the Igbo out of Nigeria despite several threats from self-determination agitators.

The assurance was contained in a speech delivered by Ohanaeze President General, Prof. George Obiozor during his visit to Imo State.

While appealing for the release of Igbo youths detained in all parts of the country, Obiozor said the South East was in dire need of security just as he called for zonal and state security apparatus to compliment the efforts of the federal government. 

He said the president’s visit would form a new foundation for dialogue on critical issues concerning the Igbo.

“Ndigbo are committed to Nigerian unity and there is news for those trying to push us out of Nigeria. Ndigbo in Nigeria are like fish in the ocean, no matter how rough the storm is, it cannot drive the fish out of the ocean. Mr. President, it is in this context that we see a new dawn in your distinguished presence in Igboland. We believe that on your return to Abuja, the significance and substance of this visit will form a new foundation of a platform for meaningful dialogue on critical issues of  concern to the Igbo nation.”
