Call for Competent Technocrats and a Government of National Unity

They expressed concerns about the prospect of having both the president and vice president, as well as the Senate President and Speaker, being Muslims.
Ohanaeze suggested that Senator Godswill Akpabio could be a suitable candidate for the Senate Presidency, based on his achievements and ability to balance the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Focus on Economic Development and Reconciliation Efforts
Ohanaeze emphasized its interest in the economic aspects of Tinubu’s administration, pledging continued support similar to what was extended during his tenure as governor of Lagos State.
The group called for the resolution of existing issues in Nigeria, including the release of political prisoners like Nnamdi Kanu.
Ohanaeze also stressed the importance of upholding the principles of federal character in all appointments and ensuring meritocracy.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s Support and Collaboration
In conclusion, Ohanaeze expressed its commitment to supporting President Tinubu, with the belief that collaboration with the Igbo community would propel his government to new heights of success.
They assured Tinubu that with Ndigbo by his side, the sky would be the starting limit of his achievements.
