Apex Igbo Sociocultural group Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has urged President Bola Tinubu to immediately think about strategically reorganizing his economic team in order to deal with the nation’s worsening problems.
According to Ohanaeze, the Ndigbo people’s unwavering decision to abstain from the hardship protests against President Bola Tinubu in the Southeast was supported by a moving account of the hardships that the people of the region had to endure from the beginning of the former President Muhammadu Buhari administration in 2015 until 2023.
Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, released a statement on Thursday stating: “President Tinubu must acknowledge the current climate of relative peace in the Southeast, which is demonstrated by the lack of widespread looting of vital resources that has plagued regions such as Abuja, parts of the North, and Southwest.

“Acknowledging the integral role played by Ndigbo as the economic backbone of Nigeria, President Tinubu is implored to draw inspiration from the sagacious leadership demonstrated by former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Economic team, which was steered by globally renowned Igbo economists.
“Central to this proposal is the establishment of a new economic consortium led by Igbo professionals and advocating for Nigeria’s integration into the BRICS economic bloc, fostering a robust Naira that can compete effectively with other currencies through the discontinuation of the Dollar in Nigeria.
“President Tinubu is unequivocally urged to dismiss as unfounded the claims of individuals purporting to be the masterminds behind the Southeast’s decision not to engage in protests, particularly the Southeast political elite encompassing Governors, Ohanaeze leaders, Senators, and House of Representatives members, who are deemed opportunists.
