Chief Iwuanyanwu made it clear that no group in Nigeria can claim greater ownership of Nigeria than the Igbos, adding that at every stage of the nation’s history since 1914, Igbos have played major roles in all activities that shape the destiny of Nigeria.
He recalled that during the struggle for Nigeria’s independence, Igbos championed the crusade. He also noted that in other areas such as economy, education, industry, sports, etc, Igbos have continued to play their roles and make tremendous contributions. He declared: “Igbos will therefore want to make it abundantly clear to all and sundry that if anybody plans to expel Igbos from Nigeria and dispossess them of their hard earned assets they have all over the country, Igbos will never accept that.”
“For avoidance of doubt, the name Nigeria is derived from one of the biggest rivers in Africa – River Nigeria. In Nigeria, this river transverses through substantial part of Igbo land. It is important to note that most of the people who want to expel Igbos and seize their assets do not have their States anywhere near the River Nigeria.
