Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called on Ndigbo to avail themselves of the 2024 Igbo Day celebration to seek God’s intervention in addressing the decades of suffering, oppression and socio-economic marginalization faced by the people of the zone.
A statement issued on Sunday and signed by Okechukwu Isiguzoro, factional Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, said the 2024 Igbo Day will serve not only as a commemoration but also as a sacred moment of prayer and reflection. According to him, the central theme of the 2024 Igbo Day Prayers Conference, “Ozoemela” , calls for the Igbo to collectively forge a path toward healing and reconciliation, urging them to let bygones be bygones.
“We solemnly acknowledge the immense sacrifices of our forebearers and contemporaries, including the heroic women of the 1929 Aba Women’s War, the victims of the Enugu coal mine incident, and the innocent lives lost during the massacres of September 1966 and the Asaba Massacre in 1968.
