In a statement issued on Sunday, Obi emphasized that the role of the new Ohanaeze leadership is crucial in uniting the Igbo people, addressing their concerns, and ensuring the progress of both the region and the nation as a whole.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the umbrella body for the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria, has long played a significant role in advocating for the rights, interests, and welfare of the Igbo people. As the new leadership takes charge, Peter Obi conveyed his confidence in the ability of Azubuike Mbata, alongside his executive team, to guide the organization with integrity and vision. Obi specifically recognized the election of Senator Mbata as a reflection of the strong faith and trust that the Igbo community has in his leadership capabilities.

“I congratulate the Newly Elected President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Senator John Azuta-Mbata; the Deputy President General, Prince Okey Nwadinobi; the Secretary-General, Emeka Sibeudu, and other newly elected executive members, on their emergence as the leaders of the noble organization,” Obi said in his statement. “Their emergence as the leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo underscores the level of confidence and hope the people have in their leadership ability and their commitment to the development of the region and the nation in general.”

The election of Mbata and his team marks a significant moment in the history of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as the organization’s leadership is now entrusted with the responsibility of tackling pressing issues facing the Igbo people, including political, economic, and social challenges. Obi, in his message, recognized the collective efforts of the Igbo community to elect capable leaders who would represent their interests on the national stage.

Furthermore, Obi, who served as the governor of Anambra State, highlighted the importance of ensuring that the new leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo stays focused on advancing peace, unity, and progress, not only among the Igbo people but also across Nigeria as a whole. He noted that the unity of Ndigbo is vital for ensuring that the region’s concerns are adequately addressed, and its potential for growth is fully realized.

The former governor expressed his optimism that the new leadership would work harmoniously to ensure that the Igbo community continues to contribute to Nigeria’s overall development. Obi also pointed out that their work must align with the larger goal of fostering national unity and peace, especially at a time when political and social divisions are prominent in Nigeria.

As part of his wishes for the new leadership, Obi encouraged the Ohanaeze Ndigbo executives to work towards improving the welfare of the Igbo people and to play an active role in national development initiatives. He reminded the leadership that peace, unity, and progress are not only goals for the Igbo community but for the entire country. In this light, Obi urged the new leadership to pursue policies and actions that would promote inclusivity and cooperation with other ethnic groups, fostering a sense of unity across Nigeria’s diverse communities.

“Their emergence is a vote of confidence from the Igbo people,” Obi noted, reiterating the responsibility of the new executives to live up to the expectations of the masses. “I pray that they will leverage their new offices to continue to work for the peace and unity of our nation and contribute immeasurably to ideas that will drive development, peace, and progress among the people.”

Obi’s message underscores the importance of leadership that prioritizes the needs of the people and works towards lasting solutions that benefit all. His call for unity and collaboration resonates with the ongoing efforts to promote national cohesion and to address the issues of insecurity, economic challenges, and social inequality faced by different regions in Nigeria.

The former Labour Party presidential candidate also highlighted the significance of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership in shaping the future of the Igbo people. As a well-respected elder statesman in the South East, Obi’s endorsement of the new leadership carries weight and signals to the broader Nigerian public that the Igbo community is unified in its support for Mbata and his team.

In closing, Obi expressed his strong belief that the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo under Senator Mbata would be instrumental in driving positive change for the Igbo people and the nation at large. He called for collective action from all stakeholders to ensure that the aspirations of the Igbo community are fully realized in the coming years.

With the new leadership in place, the hope is that Ohanaeze Ndigbo will continue to serve as a powerful advocate for the Igbo people, addressing issues such as education, infrastructure, healthcare, and political representation, and making substantial contributions to the development of Nigeria as a whole. The commitment to fostering peace, unity, and progress, as outlined by Peter Obi, is expected to guide the organization’s activities in the years to come, ensuring that Ndigbo are positioned to thrive in a more united and prosperous Nigeria.
