The Ohanaeze Ndigbo President-General, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as an Igbo man and a member of the socio-cultural organisation.
Iwuanyanwu spoke during the flag-off ceremony of the dredging of the Oguta Lake-Orashi River in Imo State on Thursday.
He urged Buhari to ensure that the project succeeds before leaving office on May 29.
The Ohanaeze President-General commended Buhari for ensuring the take-off of some projects and their completion across the Southeast.
According to Iwuanyanwu: “When he took office, we were not happy, but today at the point of departure, things have changed. I can see that the Niger Bridge in Onitsha has been completed. I can see that a lot has been done in most states. Like in Ebonyi, the Federal Government has taken over the teaching hospital and the airport. Here in Imo State, a lot has been done for us; in Enugu, it is the same.
“So, I will like you to tell our son, Buhari, that we are very grateful, and I want him to realise that he is an Igbo man, and our son; he has been honoured by some Igbo states like Ebonyi and Imo. Chieftaincy in Igboland is taken very seriously; help us tell Buhari that he’s an Igbo son and a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo by honour given to him.
“But before he goes, whatever he can do to ensure this project succeeds will be appreciated; this project is very important to the whole Igbo people.”

This is the problem with Igbo. All the praises you shower on the Notherners do not change anything in them. You would change his name to Iwuanyanwu, sycophant.
