The Obi of Onitsha, His Royal Majesty (HRM), Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, Agbogidi, has appealed to Nigerians to continue to maintain the unity of the Country without recourse to tribe and religion.
Addressing journalists Thursday after commissioning the Digital Resource Centre named after him in Kaduna, Achebe emphasized the need for Nigerians to live together as brothers and sisters. He also appealed to Nigerians to pick up their PVC to effect the change they want ahead of the 2023 general elections.
“What matters most at this point of the nation’s history is a unifier. What Nigeria needs is a good President, but if you say South East today, South East tomorrow, it doesn’t matter. What we want is a Nigerian leader who will unite the country and lead it to greater heights,” he said.
Achebe spoke at the Greenfield University, (GFU), City Campus in Kudenda, Kaduna.
Earlier, Simon Ifediora Nwakacha (Onwa of Umueri), the Founder/Pro Chancellor of the University welcomed Obi.
He said: “This is a First Class traditional ruler. His coming here is good for unity of Nigeria.”
“The prospects for the University are very bright.We look forward to the University being great. Already, now, the first set of accreditation was successful. Greenfield scaled through, getting its Permanent License to operate campuses from any part of the country,” he added.
“During deliberation in one of our Council Meetings to choose who we would name the Digital Resource Centre after, your name was suggested and widely accepted.”
