He described the Igbo as a peace loving people whose commitment to nationhood was without a doubt, hence their ability to thrive in all parts of the country where they were resident.

The governor advised Nigerians to embrace peace and eschew all activities capable of jeopardising the country’s unity.

Ndigbo believes in live and let live, there is no better way to assert our unity.

We must therefore, not resort to war in a bid to fight marginalisation. We must eschew violence, embrace peace and unity, Uzodinma said.
