He explained that Ohanaeze Ndigbo
presidency offers Chief John Nnia Nwodo an unpretentious spotlight to advance
the Igbo realm in Nigeria.
In a press release made available to The
AUTHORITY in Abakaliki yesterday, Ibiam said that the Igbo are counting on Nnia
Nwodo's reach, noting that, ”Presently, the Igbo stake in the Nigerian
political sphere floats, Igbo sons and daughters have difficulty keeping faith
with any political dispensation. Their political beliefs seem unrooted with any
ideological alignment or political focus”.
He expressed worries that the Enugu/Port
Harcourt and Enugu/Onitsha Expressways have become national embarrassment.
“State Governors in Igbo States now
rehabilitate federal roads in Igbo land from their lean budgets so as to keep
alive mobility of factors of production. Whereas 70% of power generated in
China is from coal and 40% of America’s power is from coal the coal in Enugu
which is a federal resource continues to lie unexploited. Ebonyi State
continues to bring up the rear in federally allocated resources in spite of its
mineral endowments of salt and lead.
“Nwodo's new presentation offers him the
unenviable job of whipping the Igbo political class into line, regarding a
unified presentation for the Igbo on issues of ethnic and Nigerian national
importance, and results from same. At the APGA Think-Tank Nigeria, It is our
opinion that Nwodo's articulations since his election holds promise for the
Igbo. He has served Igbo issues on a platter to all. Hiding nothing, and
putting all - Friend and foe, on notice. He has also offered a wide berth to
embrace any and all relevant viewpoints to help attain the Ohanaeze mission,”
he said.
