Nigeria elections: We would have committed political suicide – Igbo groups
The groups spoke during a courtesy visit to Okwukwu, where they said it would have amounted to political suicide if Ndigbo had put all their eggs in one basket.
The groups noted that “gbos would have committed a political suicide had Ohanaeze Secretary General not taken a more informed position which nobody can fault and which would make Igbos to have a stake in the Buhari government.” In his reply, Okwukwu thanked the groups for their patriotism and confidence on him and assured them that he would not recoil in protecting Igbo interest at all times.
