Chidi Samuel|| Ohaneze Ndigbo, the Social- Cultural Umbrella group that represents the Igbo People of Nigeria on Tuesday disclosed that it was strategising to produce a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in the near future.
Mr Damian Okeke-Ogene, Chairman of the Anambra chapter of the Apex Igbo group made the disclosure in an interview with newsmen in Awka.
According to Okeke-Ogene, the Chief Nnia Nwodo-led executive of the body would address the problems of the Igbos and pursue its agenda, including producing a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction.
“This present Ohaneze is not the one you used to know; the executive of Ohaneze is ready to pursue Igbo agenda of which the Igbo presidency is part of it.
“The Ohaneze president is consulting widely with the different tribes and ethnic groupings in the country.
“By the time he is done, other parts of Nigeria will know the need to fully integrate the Igbos into mainstream of Nigerian politics.
“What he is doing at the moment is to restore the dignity and values of Igbo nation,” he stressed.
Okeke-Ogene said Ohaneze leadership is motivated to inspire unity among the Igbos and rekindle the Igbo spirit of ‘be your brothers’ keeper’.
