opinionThe recent meeting between the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo and its Yoruba counterpart, Afenifere, in Lagos was historic and highly commendable. The parley should not stop but taken forward in the interest of the people and Nigeria as a whole. The Ohaneze delegation was received by Chief Ayo Adebanjo who represented the leader of Afenifere, Chief R.F. Nwodo reportedly said he decided to visit Afenifere first because it was the first organisation that congratulated him after his appointment as the Ohaneze leader. It started with the two founding fathers of Nigeria, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, an Igbo and Chief Obafemi Awolowo, a Yoruba.
