Apex Igbo body Ohanaeze Ndigbo has urged President Buhari and the federal government to adopt dialogue rather than use of force in resolving the present national crises.
Addressing a world press conference at the Ohanaeze Headquarters in Enugu the President General Ambassador George Obiozor also urged the government to investigate the destruction of lives in the South East.
He noted that the use of military and violent means to solve national problem leads to fractionalization and anarchy.
“To secure Nigeria, to develop Nigeria and to have peace, the federal government should immediately engage all Nigerian groups through their various leaders in an urgent dialogue.

“Dialogue is what patriotic Nigerians and international community is now expecting of Nigerian leadership to resolve the current problem.”
Obiozor stressed that Igbo will not support the break-up of Nigeria but will not be victims of Nigeria Unity.
He however, advised Igbo youths against acts of violence and destruction of government institutions and facilities.
