UN delegation meets Ohanaeze Ndigbo over biafra Republic

The delegation led by a special representative of Secretary-General of UN, Ambassador Mohamed Ibn Chambas, met, yesterday, behind closed doors in Enugu, with the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by its President-General, Chief Nnia Nwodo. Other chieftains of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, who met with the delegation included Deputy President-General and former deputy governor of Ebonyi State, Prof. Chigozie Ogbu; Enugu State President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Alex Ogbonnia; Dr. Ifedi Okwenna; and chairman of Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council, Amb.

Chambas said the UN was recently worried about developments in Nigeria, particularly in the South-East, noting, however, that the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Antonio Guterres, stands for a united Nigeria where human rights are respected and not trampled upon. Chambas said: “We indeed came to commend them for the leadership they have demonstrated. 

Few months ago, we were all getting a bit worried with events and developments in the South-East of Nigeria but thanks to their leadership and their initiatives, they were able to bring together the chiefs and the political leaders and governors and respected persons of South-East and through this intervention, we now see that calm is restored and all are working to advance the one Nigeria agenda.

President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe says he wants the country to start hanging criminals again, 12 years after it stopped it.
