Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural group has disclosed that the Igbo nation will bestow honour on former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The Secretary General of Ohanaeze, Okey Emuchay made the disclosure while addressing journalists shortly after the visit of the former President to the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and other Ohanaeze leaders in Owerri, Imo State.
He said: “Issues of mutual interest were discussed with Iwuanyanwu alongside other Ohanaeze leaders.
”The President-General informed Chief Obasanjo that Nigeria should erect monuments in his name for the sacrifices he has made.
“He recalled his role in ending the civil war with the slogan of no victor no vanquished; repayment of huge external debts and recovery of the economy during his time as President.
“Remember that when Chief Obasanjo was President, he appointed several Igbo sons and daughters into his cabinet and other high profile positions. A sense of belonging was provided to the Igbo nation during that time.”
