365Daily – Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has said the Igbos have shown more faith in the unity of Nigeria than any other ethnic group in the country.
To this end, he called on other ethnic groups to emulate the same spirit to foster a more united Nigeria.
The Governor stated this when he hosted Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State at the Government House, Umuahia.
He said the Igbo man lives and does business in every part of the country, as well as contributes to the socioeconomic development of his host community.
Governor Ikpeazu expressed the view that despite differences, with a little more patience and tolerance, Nigeria will overcome her current challenges.
According to the Governor, if equal opportunities are given to Nigerian youths, they are capable of occupying strategic positions and leading the country aright and saluted Governor Bello for his efforts at galvanising Nigerians.
Earlier, Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, said he was in the state to identify with Chief Ikechi Emenike, who was burying his mother-in-law in Umuahia, and in line with official protocol, had to pay homage to the Governor first.
