President General of Igbo World Union (IWU) His imperial Majesty , Prof Mishak Nnata has called on Ndigbo to give maximum support to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the vision and aspiration of the Igbo would be better actualised through the support of Buhari who he said has good plans for Nigeria.
Speaking during his second Ofala festival at Gburugburu Ndigbo Dum’s palace, Umuajata Olokoro, Umuahia South local government area of Abia State, he said the agitation for Biafra does not have the support of the World Igbo Union.
Prof Nnata however appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to make provision for the actualisation of Igbo presidency which he said is the desire of every Igbo man and not the actualisation of Biafra.
He said that President Buhari’s administration would provide brighter future for the Igbos, expressing optimism that God will use the president to actualise the vision and aspirations of the Igbos.
He said, “We use this medium to encourage Ndigbo on the imperative to accord the federal government of President Buhari maximum cooperation as they did to his predecessor His Excellency Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, which was unprecedented in post war Nigeria”. He commended erstwhile President Jonathan whose passion for peace overrode the desires for self perpetuation in power, thereby saving Nigeria from the precipice of another intractable war.
