South-East needs political actors like Tinubu – Ohanaeze laments

Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, the apex Igbo socio-political organization, has confessed that the South-East needs political actors like the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Secretary General of the Igbo group, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said Tinubu has gained control over the political atmosphere of the South-West through hard work.

He said the APC presidential candidate is treating other tribes, with fairness.

The secretary general has via a signed statement, said the former Lagos State Governor brought other tribes into mainstream politics.

He implored governors and politicians in the South-Eastern zone of the country to emulate such a feat by Tinubu.

The Ohanaeze chieftain expressed sadness as he confessed that many Igbo elites have not brought positive impact to the zone like Tinubu had done in his South-Western zone.

According to Isiguzoro: “The political misfortunes of the South-East are traced to the individualistic selfishness of desperate APC governors in the South-East and some South-East senators who are de-marketing the zone, their actions promoted the insecurity and economic challenges of the zone.

“Ndigbo need the type of leaders like APC Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who has worked hard for the South-West to regain control of mainstream politics. Tinubu was fair to all in Lagos as governor.

“He introduced all tribesmen in governance and empowered them, and it’s not late for South-East governors and leaders to emulate him. This is the best way to regain control of the political spectrum of the East, which is in the hands of non-state actors.”
