Ohanaeze’s Deputy Secretary-General, Dimm Uche Okwukwu recalled that Tinubu was a fair leader who appointed Igbos into his cabinet during his administration as Governor of Lagos State.
In a statement he signed and forwarded to DAILY POST on Tuesday, Okwukwu said Tinubu is needed for the unification of the Southern bloc.
Okwukwu also wished the APC National Leader a quick recovery from his illness.
He said: “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu represents many things to different persons and groups. To Nigerians in general, he is one of the authors of this democracy we enjoy today. He put in so much energy as chieftain of the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, to make sure that Nigeria was returned to democracy in 1999. To Yorubas, he is a home-grown leader. Southern Nigeria sees him as a patriot and foremost unifier.
“Igbo people see Asiwaju as their protector. We remember that as governor of Lagos State, he appointed an Igbo man from Anambra State, Ben Akabueze, Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget for eight years, 1999-2007. The import of his gesture was not lost on Igbos all over the world and we are very proud of Asiwaju. Indeed, we call him “Nwanne di na mba,” a brother in foreign land.
“Ndigbo pray God Almighty grants Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu quick recovery, particularly now that Nigeria is in serious transition. We need him for the unification of the Southern bloc of Nigeria. We need him to mentor the younger generations. Nigerians need Asiwaju to inspire them. We need him to guide us in the right path of democracy. Nigerians want him home in good health.”

DeleteKee udi nonsense write-up di ihe a?
Tinubu, protector of Igbos? Please if they don’t have anything to say, they can blow a whistle! Are we not tired being used as hand fan; picked and dropped at will. I have nothing against alliances, but if you must align with Tinubu, must you spew for such abomination to justify it?
Tinubu for president, the man actually genuinely cares about Naija. A lot of others don’t give 3 about the country. May God give him excellent health to lead the country Amen

ReplyDeleteOhaneze, don't fall our hands. Hope this is not your plan? Ndigbo see who as their protector.
ReplyDeleteHave they forgotten so soon what happened during the last election in Okota and Ago palace? How Ndigbos were chased away from the polling unit cause they know what the outcome will be if we voted?
Some were injured in the process and you say he's our protector. God forgive you people o.
