Work With Others To Give Nigeria New Regime – Atiku Tells Ohanaeze President Mbata

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has congratulated the new president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Abuzuike Mbata.

Atiku charged the new Ohanaeze president, Senator Mbata, to work with other socio-cultural organizations to ensure the country gets a new regime.

In a statement on Saturday by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, Atiku commended South East governors for contributing to the success of the election on Friday.

He noted that there are lessons to be learned from the alliance forged by participants despite their political diversity.

The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said Mbata’s victory “marks a significant moment for the organization” and signals “a new era of progress, unity, and development.”

The PDP chieftain stressed that Mbata-led executives were no strangers to the divisions that have plagued the nation, adding that they must “not only work assiduously at uniting Ndigbo around shared values, but also work in tandem with other similar socio-cultural organizations in enthroning a new regime of unity“.

He underscored the imperative of the promotion of tolerance and inter-communal relations to engender peace, a requisite for stability and development.

Atiku emphasized that the promotion of unity and peace was inevitable in fostering a united front to combat the sorry state of the socio-economic conditions and improve the well-being of Nigerians.

According to Atiku, Mbata’s experience as a lawmaker and administrator, together with the collective exposure of the new executive, put them in good stead to deliver on their mandate.

He wished Mbata and his team a successful tenure to the benefit of Ndigbo in particular and Nigeria in general.

Naijaonpoint reported that the factional president of the Igbo socio-cultural organization, Uche Okwukwu, who was elected on Friday, at PortHarcourt, Rivers State, condemned Mbata’s election in Enugu that same day.
