| Governor of Enugu State, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, calls for “renewed commitment to Igbo unity” during the election of a new national leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide |
Mbah made the call during the election of a new national leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, where Senator John Azuta-Mbata and Chief Emeka Sibeudu emerged President-General and Secretary-General respectively.
According to Governor Mbah: “Today, during the election of a new national leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, I called for a renewed commitment to Igbo unity and the prioritisation of our collective interest above partisan politics and narrow affiliations.
While congratulating Senator John Azuta-Mbata and Chief Emeka Sibeudu on their emergence as President-General and Secretary-General respectively, I emphasised that the socio-political circumstances that led to the formation of Ohanaeze in the 1970s remain as relevant today as ever.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo represents the soul of our people, a testament to the enduring vision of our forebears, who understood that unity is a formidable force. From the Igbo Federal Union to the Igbo State Union, and now Ohanaeze, our collective strength has always been rooted in our sense of brotherhood and shared purpose.
We will certainly achieve far more when we fully embrace the value of speaking as a collective voice – not as lone, discordant voices. Like a quiver of arrows, our strength lies in unity.
Let us draw inspiration from the leadership pedigrees of Igbo leaders such as Dr Michael Okpara, the Premier of the old Eastern Region, who demonstrated how much could be achieved when patriotism and statesmanship are at the core of leadership. Now, more than ever, we must channel that spirit to achieve our collective aspirations and bring development across Ala Igbo.”
