Imo State Governor,
Owelle Rochas Okorocha has awarded a contract for the building of a
befitting secretariat for Ohaneze Ndi Igbo at its premises located at No. 7
Park Avenue GRA, Enugu with the Contractor asked to finish the job as quickly
as possible.
Governor Okorocha while awarding the contract at the weekend, explained that he had undertaken to construct the new secretariat for the Pan-
Igbo organization as a private person and not in his capacity as the governor
of Imo State, adding that he was doing that as a concerned Igbo citizen, assuring
too that with the unity now prevalent in the leadership of Ohaneze, the whole
governors of the South-East zone would now begin to show interest in the
affairs of the organization.
The governor who had
before now inspected the secretariat was not pleased with what he saw on ground
and promised to do something about the situation, and it was against the
backdrop of that promise, that he awarded the contract for the job to take off
immediately.
Governor Okorocha had last
month, reconciled the two factions of Ohaneze with Dr. Ralph Obioha and Chief
Cray Igariwey being the contending personalities and at the peace meeting at
the Government House Owerri, Dr. Obioha denounced his own faction and agreed to
work with Chief Igariwey and since then, the situation has been quite
commendable.
Governor Okorocha also
charged the leaders of Ohaneze to draw a programme that would attract the
South-East governors and other prominent Igbos to be in attendance adding that
the Igbos must unite for progress and development.
In his speech, the
Secretary General of Ohaneze Dr. Joe Nworgu commended Governor Okorocha for
appreciating the importance and role of Ohaneze in the life of Ndi-Igbo,
stressing that the leadership of Ohaneze and Ndi-Igbo in general would continue
to appreciate his gesture and love for his people.
