Hope Uzodimma, the Governor of Imo State on Saturday said Igbo people of Nigeria must coexist with other ethnic groups “as equal partners”.
Uzodimma said this in Owerri, the Imo state capital at the presentation of his book.
The book, ‘Reflection On The Igbo Questions’ was presented today.
“For Ndigbo, the challenge of our generation is to insist on our inalienable birthright as citizens of Nigeria, who must coexist with other ethnic nationalities as equal partners. This is the rationale for my book that has just been presented to you,” Uzodimma said.
“It is my own modest contribution on how the Igbos can overcome the existential challenges facing them today in project Nigeria. This accounts for the sense of fulfilment and joy that I derive from the presentation of this historic book, ‘Reflection On The Igbo Question’.
“This book essentially puts together my thoughts on the Igbo question as expressed at different fora over a period spanning over eight years. This explains the title, Reflection On The Igbo Question. I consider its publication to be part of my responsibility to, not just Ndigbo, but Nigerians in general.”
