Ohanaeze Ndigbo Outlines Problem Of South Eastern States

Members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Niger have identified lack of unity as a
major impediment to socio-political development of most of south
eastern states.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Chairman of the
association, Chief Emmanuel Ezeugo, in Abuja on Monday.

The association also observed that lack of unity had explained why
"the governors of Ohanaeze Ndigbo states are always at crossroads with
each other.

"Our governors don't even cooperate with the leadership of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo in setting developmental agenda for the region.

"We have, as well, never seen our governors as major stakeholders, who
attend the association's meetings or take any proposal on development
serious."

The statement said the association had, therefore, concluded
arrangement to organise a summit to address the challenge with the
theme, "Oganiru na Akonauchi."

The statement said the high points of the summit would include the
inauguration of the association's women wing on Dec. 12 at Suleja
Township Stadium.

"The summit is an event that will bring the Igbo sons and daughters in
and outside the state together to reflect on the challenges facing the
Igbos," the statement said.
