The President,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide,
Senator John Mbata.
Dear Sir,
“We, the members of Ndigbo Media Forum, write to you with the sense of collective urgency and unwavering hope. As Stakeholders committed to the welfare, unity and welfare of our people, we believe it is imperative to address the current political realities that continue to threaten the peace and development of Ndigbo.
The civil war that once ravaged our land is now a chapter in our history – one that we must learn from and move beyond. However, despite the cessation of the open hostilities, a different kind of struggle persists: the lingering shadows of marginalization, political exclusion and economic disparity, etc. This issues threaten to undermine the hard-won peace and progress we endeavour to build.
In the light of these challenges, we task you, as a leader of our apex umbrella body, to exert your influence and leadership in establishing a comprehensive political CLEARING HOUSE for our people. Such platform would serve as a vital space for dialogue, negotiation, and representation – ensuring that our voices are heard, our interests protected, and our concerns addressed effectively within the broader political landscape.
Recent event, notably the apparent deliberate failure of the exam controlling agency in a particular region, exemplify the ongoing struggles against systemic bias and marginalization. This incident underscores the urgent need for a more structural approach to safeguard the rights and opportunities of our people, especially in a crucial areas such as education and governance.
We believe that by fostering a political CLEARING HOUSE, your leadership can help bridge divides, promote equitable participation, and pave the way for more inclusive political process. It is an essential step towards healing divides and fostering substantial development for our people
We look to you for leadership, wisdom, and unwavering commitment. it is our collective hope that under your guidance the post civil war challenges will be addressed proactively, and a new era of unity, prosperity and dignity will emerge for our people.”
Thank you for your attention and dedication to the vital cause.
Respectful,
Yours in the service of our father land,
Rev. Paul Eze.
National Coordinator,
Ndigbo Media Forum.
