Shun Partisanship if You Must Succeed, Igbo forum tasks new Ohanaeze leadership
An Igbo socio cultural organization, Ndigbo Unity Forum, NUF, has tasked the Chief Nnia Nwodo-led newly elected leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to stay off partisan politics if his leadership must succeed.
The group maintained that non partisanship and stand for equity and justice are some of the panacea for success if he intends to make his administration stand out of the others.
NUF also tasked the new executive to join hands with the Governors in all the Igbo speaking states that are members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other stakeholders in the region in formulating policies that will revive Igbo culture and language.
In a congratulatory message it sent yesterday to the new leadership, the forum said apart from ensuring that everybody is carried along,
the new executive should use their expertise in different fields of human endeavour to collaborate with stakeholders in the region for the purpose of attracting investments to the region.

The statement jointly signed by its President, Augustine Chukwudum and the Secretary-General, Chinedu Onyebuchi, NUF described the election that produced the new Ohanaeze executive as free and fair, saying, “we commend everybody associated with Ohanaeze Ndigbo whose effort in one way or the other contributed towards achieving a rancour-free election that produced Chief Nnia Nwodo and other members of the executive”.
According to the statement, “Knowing fully well that challenges facing the Igbo nation in the present day Nigeria is enormous and knowing fully well that winners and losers must emerge from every election, we task the Nwodo-led new executive to achieve the above-mentioned feat before the expiration of their tenure”.
“Though we know that challenges before the new executive are enormous, we believe that Ohanaeze Ndigbo with Nwodo at the helm of affair is credible and equal to the task”, NUF further stated.
