Prominent Igbo leaders yesterday in Owerri, Imo State capital, canvassed for the unity of Nigeria and expressed optimism that all issues agitating minds of people of Igbo extraction can be realised in Nigeria.

He said, “For Ndigbo, the challenge of our generation is to insist on our inalienable birthright as citizens of Nigeria, who must coexist with other ethnic nationalities as equal partners. This is the rationale for my book that has just been presented to you. “The second is that Igbos are citizens of Nigeria by birth. They should never allow themselves to be cajoled out of their fatherland and inheritance. This is our country and we must stay here and collectively enforce out rights as bona fide citizens of Nigeria.

He said, “They should come up with pragmatic ways of conquering their fear. I don’t want our youths to think that somebody is holding down their destiny. I also don’t want them to continue to be frustrated by the deliberate policies of exclusion. Instead, I want them to be focused on the larger picture of liberation through technology, trade and commerce through which we can dominate Nigeria and dictate the pace of development.

Igbo Presidency: Arewa Youths knock Shettima over comment“We strongly believe that no genuine democrat with sincere national interest and who cherishes the spirit of unity and corporate existence of Nigeria will utter such insensitive comments at this critical political time in our country.” I think it's high time the North distanced itself from jobless old youths like Yerima and co-travellers. They are doing the North a massive bad job that breeds hatred from the other regions.
