Ohaneze Ndigbo has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to use the coming New Year to address critical Nigeria issues such as restructuring, hardship, fuel scarcity, among others in order to improve the wellbeing of Nigerians. The Igbo Socio-Cultural Organization stated this in a statement issued on Saturday by its President General, Chief John Nnia Nwodo. The statement says the President must use the New Year to remedy all the short comings of his administration by running an inclusive government.
He also called on the President to make concerted efforts toward bringing Nigerians together as one great political family. He condemned the lingering fuel scarcity in the country and called on relevant authorities to address the situation immediately in the interest of the economy.
“The persisting cases of fuel scarcity even after such high hike from N87 per liter to N145 makes it imperative that the problem of the country requires fundamental solution like restructuring of the system.” “Let us use the new year to address critical issues with a view to finding lasting solutions to them rather than the current surface scratching of the problems.
“If we must tell ourselves the plain truth, this country is not working as it is and we just have to face the challenge squarely by moving for restructuring.
Nwodo also urged Nigerians to appreciate the enormous contributions of Ndigbo in the socio political and economic development of the country stressing that the issue of Restructuring must also be given priority.
