The president general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu has sworn allegiance to President Bola Tinubu, stating that he’ll kick against anyone acting against the president.
Iwuanyanwu urged President Tinubu to grant the Igbos their rights and to treat the Southeast race fairly, saying that the entire Igbo nation would support Tinubu’s administration.
He revealed this during a courtesy visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, in his palace on Sunday.
His words: “Bola was very good to us when he was governor. He treated Ndigbo very well. During the time of the governorship, Igbo in Lagos came to me, and I told them to support Governor Sanwo Olu.
“But the President of Nigeria today is Bola Tinubu. Ohanaeze has pledged our loyalty to support our brother.
“What we want from Tinubu is justice, fairness, and equity. We don’t want to take another person’s state; whatever is our right should be given to us.
“We are going to support him, we are going to be loyal to him, and anybody who fights him unjustly, we are going to join him to fight such a person, but all we want is for him to give us our rights.”
