Olusegun Obasanjo, a former President of Nigeria, has paid a visit to the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu in Owerri, Imo State.

Obasanjo discussed “issues of mutual interest” with Iwuanyanwu alongside other Ohanaeze leaders.

Addressing journalists, Friday, on the outcome of the visit, Secretary General of Ohanaeze, Okey Emuchay said the meeting was very symbolic and crucial as fruitful deliberations were held.

He said: “Issues of mutual interest were discussed. The PG informed Chief Obasanjo that Nigeria should erect monuments in his name for the sacrifices he has made.

“Remember that when Chief Obasanjo was President, he appointed several Igbo sons and daughters into his cabinet and other high profile positions. A sense of belonging was provided to the Igbo nation during that time.”
