All is now set for the Peoples Democratic Party presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to storm Enugu, the political Capital of the South east geopolitical zone on Wednesday 14th November 2018 as part of his tour of consultations of different parts of the country. His coming will coincide with the special Lectures being organized by Mgboko Igbo, a socio-political group that has been in the forefront of Igbo culture and tradition and contemporary Igbo affairs. Atiku is billed to be a special guest during the lecture series, with the Keynote Address to be given by Olisa Agbakoba, a Senior advocate of Nigeria and an expert at Cabottage law. He has been at the forefront of Igbo cause, and a member of the south east political think-thank.
This year’s inaugural lecture will be delivered by Doctor George Uwazurike, a Harvard trained Professor who replaces the traditional older generation speakers in the annual event. According to Professor ABC Nwosu, it was decided that this year, the youths should take over the annual lectures. Celebrated older professors of Igbo extraction are usually saddled with the lectures in previous years.
