The emergency of Dr Peter Mbam and Pastor Edwin Chukwu as the Chairman and Secretary of the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, Ebonyi State Chapterl respectively is a welcome development.
The state chapters of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization are the pillars of the general body, now headed by the renowned diplomat , George Obiozor.
It is said that the strength of an architectural design depends on it’s pillars,and where there are weak pillars the structure is bound to collapse any time.
That is why the emergency of the new executive of the Ebonyi State Chapter of the Igbo socio-cultural group is highly commendable. Dr Peter Mbam,an astute intellectual,has gathered much experience both in private and public sector,he was the former chairman of the Ebonyi State Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) a former Special Assistant to his Excellency,Engr Dave Umahi,the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State.
On the other hand,the Secretary of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, Ebonyi State Chapter , Pastor Edwin Chukwu,(the man that will run the Secretariat for the next three years)has distinguished himself both in circular and religious worlds,he is a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Benin City,Edo State.
There are enormous jobs for the entire members of the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo Ebonyi State Chapter.They are supposed to oversea the affairs of the chapter and support the general body, led by the renowned diplomat, George Obiozor,moreso as we approach the 2023 general election, where the Igbo nation are supposed to leave no stone unturned in it’s efforts to produce the next Nigerian President come 2023.
The Ohaneze Ndi Igbo generally has been politicized, pluralized and have missed it altogether. It is time for the entire body to come together, unit the entire Igbo race.Chart a common cause for the south east and the Igbo nation.
The problem of insecurity in ithe Southeast must not be left for governments alone.The region must be protected from Fulani Herdsmen, kidnappers and armed robbers.
We,the entire members of Wawa Reporters is congratulating the duo and pray the God almighty to help them to succeed in this new assignment.
Chukwu
