“We commend Barr Uche Okwukwu, the Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo for Saving Ndigbo by Boldly Supporting President Buhari even when his life and ours were threatened by enemies of Ndigbo who masquerade as Igbo leaders.
“We ask Ndigbo that We are now back to the mainstream and we expect more increased dividends of democracy. We ask Ndigbo to remain quiet and be peaceful and do their normal businesses. We commend INEC for the peaceful conduct of the election but there’s a need to improve on the Card Reader.
