ASITU Challenges Ohanaeze On Unification Of Ndigbo, Felicitates New President General

The Association of Igbo Town Unions, ASITU, has challenged the new leadership of the Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to work assiduously on the unification of the citizenry and organisation.
This is even as they felicitated with the new president-general (PG) of Ohanaeze Ndigbo World-wide, Senator John Azuta-Mbata, on his successful emergence.

The national president of ASITU, Chief Emeka Diwe, who personally signed the release stressed that the emergence of Senator John Azuta-Mbata as the leader of the apex socio-cultural organisation in Igbo land is apt and proper, noting that the former senator has garnered the requisite pedigree, patriotic zeal, national and international acceptability.

He called on the new president-general and his executive to improve on the broad policy spectrum of the immediate past P-Gs and ensure that the constitution of Ohanaeze Ndigbo serves as the grand norm and guiding principle in all the activities of the organisation.

Chief Diwe particularly noted the need for the new president-general and his team to bring all dissenting voices and indeed various factions and groups in Igbo land to a unified structure. This, according to the Igbo leader, should be a major responsibility of the new Ohanaeze leadership.

He stressed that the association of Igbo Town Unions, will as always, bring its ubiquitous grassroots presence to support Ohanaeze Ndigbo in its programmes.
