The Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on Sunday, commended people of the South-East for their calmness in abstaining from the series of protests against President Bola Tinubu over the economic hardship across the country. He said the South East has always suffered government neglect since the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. He urged Tinubu to implement the recommendations of the 2014 Constitutional Conference amid the hardship confronting Nigeria. “Ohanaeze stands in awe of the Southeast populace for their undaunted bravery and rare insight in weathering the storm. The economic situation in the country had become unbearable following the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Tinubu on May 29, 2023.
