Ohaneze Youth wing in South-South geopolitical zone on Saturday
commended the stance of Dr Nnia Nwodo, President General, Ohaneze Ndigbo, for
sensitising Nigerians on benefits of restructuring to the nation.
Chief Chinedu Arthur-Ugwa,
South-South’s Coordinator of the youth arm of Ohaneze, gave the commendation
while speaking in Yenagoa.
He spoke on the sidelines of the
rally on restructuring of the country organised by the Pan Niger Delta Forum
(PANDEF) in Yenagoa.
Arthur-Ugwa noted that Ohaneze
leader has been in the forefront in efforts to enlighten the people on the need
to support efforts at reinforcing the unity among the federating units and make
the country a prosperous one.
He said that restructuring was
more than a slogan and required the support of all parts of the country to make
it a success.
“We, the Ohaneze youths in Bayelsa
and South South applaud the tireless efforts of our President General, Chief
Nnia Nwodo in preaching national unity with regard to unity of purpose and
restructuring as well.
“He has been taking time to break
down the concept to the level that ordinary Nigerians can understand and
identify with the need to restructure.
‘‘He has shown that restructuring
is beneficial to every part of Nigeria and should be acceptable to all.
“Also worthy of note is the peace
moves made by Nwodo across the nooks and crannies of the federation where Igbo
reside and do business; under his tenure, leadership tussles amongst Igbo have
been tamed.
“In a place where there is
disharmony among Igbo and their hosts he has intervened and made peace.
‘‘He met with Ohanaze in Bayelsa
and resolved the crisis that had lingered here for many years and we are
grateful to him,” Arthur-Ugwa said.
He noted that every part of the
country has legitimate needs that could be met in a restructured Nigeria and
advised the Federal Government to address it in a holistic manner.
He said that restructuring held
the key to socio-economic advancement of the country provided the Federal
Government has the political will to implement it for the benefit of the
citizenry.
Representatives of Ohaneze,
Afenifere, Middle Belt Forum, Arewa Consultative Forum were among others that
sent goodwill messages to the rally. (
