The President-General also noted: “I wish to reiterate and speak on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, both at home and in the Diaspora that our people are committed to the Nigerian project.

“That we desire a country that provides a platform and an opportunity to contribute our utmost best to the growth of our fatherland.”

Obiozor stated: “We seek justice, equity, fairness, and going by our antecedents, we are in every part of Nigeria and therefore, claim to be the most federating of all Nigerian.”
