The lawmakers have said that Senator Azuta Mbata`s election as the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide is a milestone in the history of the apex socio-cultural organisation.
In a statement in Abuja, on Saturday, the leader of the Caucus, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, said Senator Mbata’s victory at the election during the Ohanaeze General Assembly in Enugu, marks a milestone in the history of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation.
The caucus, he said, have firm confidence in Senator Mbata’s pedigree and leadership qualities that are solid enough to steer Ohanaeze to achieve the much desired unity and development in Igboland and command the ability to also reach out to similar associations outside Igboland to enhance good relationships for the unity of Nigeria.
“We as a caucus have the confidence that Ohanaeze as constituted under the leadership of Sen. Mbata would weave the entire Igbo race cohesively together in unity, peace and make Ohanaeze a veritable rallying point for Ndigbo wherever they may be.
“Such trajectory we believe would no doubt encourage, instil confidence and reinvigorate the ability of our people to pursue their individual and collective goal to achieve sustainable development for the overall benefit of Igboland and Nigeria.
“The caucus also lauds the delegates at the General Assembly and the political leadership, particularly the state governors, for their unwavering commitment to support the New Ohanaeze leadership to succeed,” Abaribe said.
The caucus congratulates the outgoing PG, Nze Ozichukwu, for leading Ohanaeze to hand over the reins of leadership to Senator Mbata in a peaceful election.
The caucus enjoined Ndigbo to give Senator Mbata and his executive full support in carrying out his mandate to restore the dignity and prosperity of Alaigbo.
