Igbos in Bauchi state have said they will unite and mobilise themselves to achieve their goal of supporting their kinsman to be the next President of Nigeria.
President-General of the Igbo Community in Bauchi state, Sir Chidi Chukwunta, stated this on Sunday shortly after being sworn in as the new President of the Community in the State.
He said he would do everything possible to get Igbo united to takeover power in the next general elections.
Chukwunta said: “Considering the fact that other tribes have been on that throne, as the President of the Igbo here in Bauchi, I will support every move to ensure that an Igboman become a president in 2023.”
He said the Igbo Community in the state is made up of six states, namely, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu, and parts of Delta.
He however, called on them to unite to foster development.
The President commended the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed for ensuring the safety of Igbo in the State.
“Crisis has become a thing of the past in Bauchi but I know that there is insecurity in Borno and Kaduna and other part of the North but we are enjoying peace in Bauchi,” he said.
He called the Igbo residents in Bauchi state to be law abiding, saying their welfare is his priority.
