In a bold move aimed at fostering unity and national development, the factional secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, has called on leaders of major opposition parties, including Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Rabiu Kwankwaso, to set aside their political differences and work together to rebuild Nigeria.

Isiguzoro’s statement, issued on Tuesday, highlights the significant progress, development, and commitment demonstrated during the first year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Drawing a sharp contrast with the previous eight years under Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership, Isiguzoro emphasizes the strides made under Tinubu’s presidency.
During Buhari’s tenure, Isiguzoro notes, the South-East region endured economic suppression and marginalization, resulting in heightened insecurity and economic neglect. However, under Tinubu’s leadership, there has been a noticeable shift, with increased political will and determination to address these challenges.

Isiguzoro specifically commends the ongoing reconstruction and rehabilitation of major federal expressways in the South-East, spearheaded by Senator David Umahi, which has spurred economic activity and infrastructure development in the region.
While acknowledging Senator Umahi’s exemplary performance as Minister of Works, Isiguzoro calls on President Tinubu to address certain issues affecting the Igbo community. These include halting the unnecessary demolition of Igbo properties in Lagos, releasing Nnamdi Kanu, and implementing trade policies that foster friendly relations and economic growth.
Furthermore, Ohanaeze urges the reopening of the Calabar Seaport, citing its potential to boost economic activity, particularly in conjunction with the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Super Highway.
The message from Ohanaeze underscores the importance of unity and collaboration among political leaders for the collective progress and prosperity of Nigeria, while also advocating for specific measures to address the concerns of marginalized communities.
