Eze Ndigbo Lagos State and National President, Traditional Council of Ndi Eze
Igbo in Diaspora, Eze Hyacinth Ohazurike has said that the only solution to the
puzzle of national Precedency was the convocation of a Sovereign National
Conference where every body will have a choice of expression.
Ohazurike who made this suggestion in an interview with THISDAY in Lagos during
the presentation of a new dance by a Social cultural Association of Igbo Women
(Ezinne Ndi Igbo) stated that it is disheartening to note that fellow Nigerians
did not want Ibo men or women to show their skill of leadership as President of
the country.
He said the only place to address the situation of depriving the Iboman from
becoming president of the country is the convergence of a national sovereign
conference where every body will voice their opinion, adding that anyone
running away from the issue of a conference has a hidden agenda.
Thanking President Obasanjo for his efforts in correcting the wrongs his
counterpart left behind, the Eze said it is shameful that all that he achieved
during his tenure of leadership as military head of state were destroyed by
those who took over from him.
" He left 32 aircrafts as military head of state but met none when he came
back.
