Senate Minority Leader and Senator representing Abia Central, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has declared that under no circumstance would the Igbo race be subjected to second class citizens in Nigeria where they have equal stakes with other major tribes.
Senator Abaribe made the declaration after he was confered with the chieftaincy title of “Mmiri Oma Nasoro Oha 1” (the good flowing river) by Amuzu Ubakala Autonomous Community in Umuahia South Local Government Area.
The former Deputy Governor who has since declared his ambition to succeed Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu in 2023, said his vocality at the red chamber was borne out of his conviction that Ndigbo are no strangers but major stakeholders in the Nigeria project.
He avered that any attempt to relegate the race to the background or make them play second fiddle would amount of effort in futility.
Senator Abaribe insisted that Ndigbo must be accorded their honour, rights and privileges as equal stakeholders in Nigeria, more so considering their numerous contributions and sacrifices towards the development and sustenance of the country.
