He said the rally for Buhari would be aimed at re-directing the mindset of Ndi-Igbo in the current political dispensation to join the national ideology.
“This very rally will have so many governors in attendance with Secretary to the Government of the Federation as a representative of the President. The idea is to promote the ideals of what President Buhari stands for, and to also ensure that Igbos are not left out again, and to rebuild all broken bridges with both the North and Western part of this Country and position Ndi-Igbo better” he said
