Following the fallout of the last General elections, a group, called The Igbo Conscience, TIC, has disclosed its plans to build a common platform to unite all Nigerians while re-integrating the Igbos back into the mainstream politics.
The Convener and chairman of the group, a renowned Human rights activist and a former chairman of Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja chapter, Mr. Monday Ubani, who disclosed this during a media parley in Lagos on Wednesday said the Group consists of professional Igbo indigenes who are seeking to work for the interest of Ndigbo and other Nigerians towards forging a common bond of national unity,
While explaining the reasons why professionals of like-minds of Igbo stock closed ranked to float the body, Ubani said, “The failure of many groups and organizations that purport to speak and represent Ndigbo at a time like this is very instructive.
‘’The inability to proffer workable solutions to the problems besetting Ndigbo, especially those arising from the last political choices we made exposes Ndigbo to dangers, we will not sit idly by and allow it further to degenerate.
“With the fear of xenophobia threatening to catch up with Nigeria, TIC feels it has got to a time Nigerians must come together and mold a country where no one is oppressed.
‘’We feel Ndigbo must bond with other Nigerians for them to excel in whatever they do most especially.
‘’We feel it has come to a time we must work fully on the task of working on building a common platform of understanding and unity that will unite all Nigerians as one and not fan divisive embers that diminish us individually and collectively.”
