Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has commended the Abia State Governor, Alex Otti for his achievements so far in office.
Ohanaeze’s position was made known by the President General, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, who led the organisation’s executives on a working visit to the Governor in his country home, in Isialangwa South LGA, on Tuesday.
Iwuanyanwu said that the Ohanaeze leadership was interested in knowing how those elected into political offices from the South East were doing.
Chief Iwuanyanwu briefed the Governor about what Ohanaeze, under his leadership, had been doing to unite and develop Igbo land.
He informed Governor Otti that although the Ohanaeze Ndigbo had supported the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, in the last general election, because it felt that zoning favoured the Igbos to produce the next president, but with the declaration of President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the election, Ohanaeze had already written the president, pledging the support of the Igbos to this government, in order to unite and develop Nigeria.
Responding, Governor Otti thanked the Ohanaeze leadership for finding time to visit him and commended them for the good work they were doing in preserving the interest of Ndigbo in Nigeria.
He told the Igbo leaders that he was now focused on governance after his legal victory, pointing out that it would be wise for all to support the governments at the centre and state levels to fix Nigeria.
