In a Tuesday interview on Arise TV, Hon. Odo stated that the Igbos are the tribe that has made the greatest contributions to the development of all regions of Nigeria, based on the types of enterprises they engage in.
He said that about two months ago, he was in a town known as Gamboru Ngala in Borno State, and saw an Igbo man building a personal house there. He said that it was very possible that the man did not have a house in his village in Igbo land.
He said, “The average Igbo man is very comfortable with this country. The average Igbo man is a believer in the Nigerian Project. And looking at the kind of businesses they do, looking at their way of life, they are the most single tribe that has gone as far as developing every part of this country.
“I was in Gamboru Ngala some two months ago, I saw an Igbo man building a personal house there, and it’s even possible he hasn’t even a house in his village. If he doesn’t believe in this country he wouldn’t do that.”
