Igbos thank Buhari regime, to honour Adesina with chieftaincy title as Nnamdi Kanu languishes in jail
An Igbo delegation visited the State House on Friday to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for what he has done in the South-East, while planning to honour a spokesperson for the President, Femi Adesina, with a chieftancy title after the regime expires on May 29.
Mr Adesina, in a statement on his Facebook page on Saturday, said the delegation visited the State House “to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for his work in terms of infrastructure in the S’East, and to also appreciate me for using my position as Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity to bring the country together.” Â
“And then the clincher! A chieftaincy title awaits me after we leave government on May 29, 2023,” Mr Adesina said. Â
According to Mr Adesina, the delegation that visited State House comprised of Igwe Dr C. C Okoli, Eze Ndigbo Suleja Emirate Council, who is also Deputy President, Association of Ndi-Eze Igbo, Nigeria and Diaspora, Rev Austin Epunam of Sweet Home Africa, and Prince Ugochukwu Ifeanyi, of Thanos Charity Foundation.
This comes as Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the agitation for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has continued to languish in jail despite the court discharging and acquitting him in October 2022.
