According to him, \u201cour stand has always been so clear; we want an Igbo nation that will grow in leaps and bounds, and Igbo nation where we will experience economic expansion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make renewed demand for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We are shocked that our leaders did not make that a priority when President Bola Tinubu visited Enugu State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem we have always had is where politicians want to hijack Ohanaeze for their selfish motives; we shall continue to resist it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I thank Igbo youth youths for the confidence reposed in me, my assurance is that I would work for the collective interest of the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that Okwu served for four years after which he was re-elected for another term.<\/p>\n
