Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Tunji Isola, hosted the president-general of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, and other eminent leaders of the Igbo race on Tuesday in London.
In a statement in Lagos on Thursday, Mr Iwuanyanwu said the envoy hosted them at the high commissioner’s residence in London to discuss the promotion of peace and unity in Nigeria.
Mr Iwuanyanwu said another purpose of the event was to foster familiarity between the mission’s staff and members of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
He appreciated the high commissioner for granting the organisation an audience.
“Also, I urge Nigerian youths to disregard any issue that may incite discord and division in the country.
“Instead, the youths should uphold the leadership principles of the nation’s founding fathers, which promote peaceful coexistence and harmony,” he said.
He emphasised that with harmony, equity, and fairness, Nigeria could become one of the most prosperous countries in the world…
