Igariwey appreciated the Ohanaeze leadership, for deeming it worthy to interact with them on the need for collaboration.
He stated that having monitored Senator Mbata’s socio-political records over the years, they have no doubt that his Ohanaeze presidency would be a remarkable leap in the annals of the Igbo apex body.
He assured the delegation of their commitment to effective representation, national development and continuous engagement with Ohanaeze Ndigbo for the common good of our people.
The caucus leader noted that irrespective of the distinctiveness of their various parties which is also healthy for democracy, they still operate as a family on issues of the development of AlaIgbo and her general concern.
