Pius Okoye, the national president of IIAND, urged Ndigbo to persevere through hardship and uphold their well-known work ethic during a news conference in Onitsha.

IIAND expressed concern over recent remarks made by Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, targeting former Vice President Peter Obi and unnecessarily implicating Ndigbo in unrelated matters. The association condemned the actions of Igbo politicians who drag the Igbo community into personal disputes fueled by political rivalry, labeling it disrespectful to the Igbo nation.

IIAND called for an apology from Umahi, asserting that his comments not only unjustly targeted Obi but also disrespected the entire Igbo community. They urged for political discourse to be conducted with civility and respect, devoid of attempts to divide or undermine the unity of the Igbo people.

He said: “The matter, Obi’s criticism of the project, neither concern Tinubu nor Ndigbo, and we wonder why a man of such calibre, a former Governor of Ebonyi State, should bring Ndigbo into such a matter that does not concern them if not for trying to retain his job.

“We think that Ndigbo deserve an apology from Umahi. If he had stopped at just attacking Obi and accusing him of incitement, we would not worry, but bringing Ndigbo in his comment is lack of respect for the Igbo nation. We demand an apology from him.” CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
