Elders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide have maintained that President Muhammadu Buhari’s two-day working visit to Ebonyi State will kick-start the process that will release Nnamdi Kanu and attainment of President of Igbo extraction.
Ohanaeze stated this in a statement signed by its Secretary-General Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and made available to newsmen at the end of their general meeting held in Abakaliki.
He however called on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other Biafra agitators to hold their peace and remain loyal to the procedure that will help them achieve the release of their leader.
The statement read: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has given assurances of peace and security ahead of the planned presidential visit to Ebonyi State.
“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.
