“We will also partner other sister organisations in other tribes, and we will be non-violent in every approach of ours. We are committed to healing every wound in Igbo land through dialogue and consultation”.
Also, the chairman, board of trustees, Chief Chinedu Mba said the forum would be at the forefront of advocacy for Igbo cause by partnering with other social-political organisations across the country.
He said lack of unity of purpose has deprived Ndigbo their pride of place in Nigeria project.
“We are here because of Igbo cause. In Igbo nation today, you can see, we lack unity and by God’s Grace Ndi- Igbo United Forum has decided to unite Ndigbo worldwide and today we have decided to preach unity and peace to all Igbos and other tribes in Nigeria”.
The national acting woman leader, Chinelo Ogbeta- Ejoor charged women to contribute their quota to the growth and unity of the country.
