Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Mbazulike Amaechi, First Republic Minister of Aviation, has cautioned people of the Southeast against seeking political powers to develop the region.<\/p>\n

Amaechi said Igbo leaders should rather seek economic, technological, educational powers to develop the Southeast.<\/p>\n

He said seeking such powers would help in the creation of employment for the Southeast.<\/p>\n

Amaechi spoke at the presentation and launch of Igbo Data Base \u2013 Igbodum by a leading Igbo pressure and intellectual group, Nzuko Ummuna, led by Professor Pat Utomi and Mr Ngozi Odumuko, yesterday.<\/p>\n

According to Amaechi, Southeast leaders should downplay too much talk and do the needful.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201dDuring our time, we will do what should be done. Today, there is so much talk. We have wealthy people abroad. Let them come back and develop Igboland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nothing Igbo cannot do for themselves. Look at Israel, with technological, and educational power, it is a force to reckon with in the world now.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet Igbo not focus on pursuit of political power but look for other powers \u2013 technological, economic, educational, etc and develop Igbo land, and create employment for our people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
