Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has strongly condemned the ongoing discrimination against the Igbo community under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
The organization specifically criticized recent remarks made by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
In a recent statement, Ohanaeze Ndigbo expressed deep concern over what they describe as "persistent Igbophobia" that has characterized the current administration.
They argue that Onanuga's comments reflect a broader pattern of marginalization and bias against the Igbo people.
"These remarks are not just unfortunate but are indicative of a deep-seated prejudice that continues to undermine national unity," said a spokesperson for Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
The organization called on President Tinubu to address these issues promptly and to take concrete steps to ensure that all ethnic groups are treated with fairness and respect.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo's condemnation has sparked a broader debate about ethnic relations in Nigeria and the role of the government in fostering inclusivity and equity.
As the discussion continues, many are watching closely to see how the administration will respond to these serious allegations.
