Ohanaeze Youth Wing has commended Nnia Nwodo, President General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, over his insistence that Nigeria must be urgently restructured.
The President General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation had likened Nigeria to jungle facing imminent collapse under the current government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Nwodo said restructuring remained the way forward for Nigeria.
Chief Chinedu Arthur-Ugwa, South-South’s Coordinator of the youth arm of Ohanaeze, gave the commendation while speaking in Yenagoa on the sidelines of the rally on restructuring of the country organised by the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) in Yenagoa.
He said that restructuring was more than a slogan and required the support of all parts of the country to make it a success.
“We, the Ohaneze youths in Bayelsa and South South applaud the tireless efforts of our President General, Chief Nnia Nwodo in preaching national unity with regard to unity of purpose and restructuring as well.
“He has been taking time to break down the concept to the level that ordinary Nigerians can understand and identify with the need to restructure.
‘‘He has shown that restructuring is beneficial to every part of Nigeria and should be acceptable to all.
“Also worthy of note is the peace moves made by Nwodo across the nooks and crannies of the federation where Igbo reside and do business; under his tenure, leadership tussles amongst Igbo have been tamed.
“In a place where there is disharmony among Igbo and their hosts he has intervened and made peace.
‘‘He met with Ohanaze in Bayelsa and resolved the crisis that had lingered here for many years and we are grateful to him,” Arthur-Ugwa said.
