Buhari congratulates new Ohanaeze Ndigbo president, Obiozor
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has felicitated with the new President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Professor George Obiozor..
Obiozor, a former Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Israel and Cyprus, became leader of the Igbo socio-cultural group after an election which held at Dan Anyim Stadium in Owerri, the Imo state capital, on Sunday.
Reacting to the news, Buhari urged the eminent diplomat and scholar to deploy his immense experience within and outside government to forge greater unity of the country.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
Buhari said, âGiven Prof. Obiozorâs rich background, especially, in international affairs and pan-Nigerian commitment, I have little doubt that his election is well-deserved and will serve not only the interest of Ndigbo, but also that of his fatherland.â
âWe need all hands to be on deck for this country to move forward in peace and unity,â he added.
Wishing Obiozor a successful tenure, Buhari enjoined him to be a âunifying force beyond his immediate constituency.â
