Orji made the explanation at
the grand finale of the Enugu Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of
Journalists, NUJ, press week held at the Top Rank Hotel, Enugu at the weekend.
He emphasised the unity of
the Igbos of the South-East whose indigenes were mostly affected by the
disengagement.
According to him, “It is
only in Abia State among others in the South-East today that non-indigenes
contest elections and win. Non-indigenes are being appointed into political
positions in Abia. And so non indigenes should also take their rightful place
in the civil service”.
The Governor, who was
represented by his Special Assistant, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, assured that
such obnoxious policy would never occur again in Abia State.
He enjoined other states in
the South-East to emulate Abia state in recalling those they disengaged.
Orji urged all Nigerians,
particularly Ndigbo residing in Abia State to see themselves as indigenes with
full rights and privileges.
