Federal Capital Territory, FCT, chapter of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has commended people of the South-Eastern part of the country for keeping away from the nationwide hunger protest which commenced on August 1, 2024.

Ohanaeze in a “thank you” message signed by the spokesperson to the FCT president of the organisation, Mazi Chidi George-Okoli, expressed gratitude to Ndigbo in the FCT for dissociating themselves from the protest which it viewed as anti-Igbo.

George-Okoli notes that the decision by the Igbo to refrain from the protest reflected deep understanding of the importance of peace and dialogue in resolving national issues.

He further observed the their attitude towards the protest was a demonstration of maturity and a desire for a united Nigeria where every citizen, regardless of ethnic or political affiliations, can work together for the common good. 

The statement read: “Recently, Nigeria has faced numerous challenges, from economic uncertainties to political tensions. In this complex environment, it is crucial for all citizens to strive for unity and peaceful coexistence. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Igbo community living in Federal Capital Territory for their commendable cooperation by accepting the request of president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, FCT, Chief Eze Primacy John Okadigbo, dissociating Igbo Community from the protest viewed as anti-Igbo protest as well as your restraint and wisdom during recent protest.

 “As the country witnessed protests and agitations, which stemmed from deep-seated grievances of hardship, hunger and anti-people policies, the Igbo community in Abuja chose a path of peace and understanding, by abstaining from participating in demonstrations against the President Ahmed Bola Tinubu-led administration and choosing not to engage in the protest which was finance by anti Minister Nyesom Wike’s forces as rumoured, they have shown a profound commitment to national harmony and stability.

 *This decision reflects a deep understanding of the importance of peace and dialogue in resolving differences. It is a demonstration of maturity and a desire for a united Nigeria, where every citizen, regardless of ethnic or political affiliations, can work together for the common good. In a time when our country needs healing and unity more than ever, the Igbo residents of Federal Capital Territory have set a positive example for others to follow.

“The leadership of Eze Primacy John Okadigbo, the Ohanaeze president of Ndi Igbo FCT and community elders among the Igbo in Abuja deserves special recognition for guiding their community with wisdom and foresight. Their emphasis on dialogue and constructive engagement over confrontation is a testament to their dedication to Nigeria’s progress. It is through such leadership that we can hope to build a more inclusive and peaceful nation.

“We also extend our appreciation to all Abuja residents who have supported this peaceful stance. Your collective commitment to non-violence and understanding helps to strengthen the social fabric of our nation. It is a reminder that despite our differences, we can find common ground and work towards a better future for all.

“While we navigate these challenging times, we hope that the grievances expressed by Nigerian are well taken and noted by Renew Hope Administration, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; let us all take inspiration from the Igbo community’s example. Let us prioritize peace, dialogue, and cooperation over division and conflict, by doing so, we can build a Nigeria where every voice is heard, and every citizen can thrive.

“In conclusion, we thank the Igbo community in Federal Capital Territory once again for their invaluable contribution to peace and stability. Your actions have not gone unnoticed, and they serve as a beacon of hope for a brighter, more united Nigeria. While we await the president to address the hardship and hunger issues raised by Nigerians, let us all continue to work together to ensure that our beloved country remains a place of peace, prosperity, and unity for generations to come.”
