A faction of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, led by Chidi Ibeh, has said members of the group will attend the inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, on Monday, May 29, at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
The group claimed that it has the backing of three Igbo State governors to attend the occasion.
In an issued statement in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, the Secretary-General of the group, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, noted that Governors Dave Umahi, of Ebonyi State, Okezie Ikpeazu, of Abia State, and Nyesom Wike, of River State, have expressed their support to Ohanaeze to attend the inauguration.
Isiguzoro said that Ndigbo are grateful to Umahi, Ikpeazu and Wike for their efforts at ensuring Igbo reposition themselves in the incoming Tinubus administration.
The factional Igbo group, however, urged Ndigbo to remain law abiding and avoid engaging the Tinubu-led Federal Government in confrontation. It noted that Ndigbo is mindful of the future and will never play politics of bitterness or malice against the incoming President.
Recall that another faction of the Igbo apex group had earlier said none of its members will attend the May 29 inauguration of Tinubu as Nigerias sixteenth president.
