Ohaneze Ndigbo asked the president to declare the state of his health

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has expressed 

sadness over the inability of President 

Muhammadu Buhari to declare the state of 

his health despite his deteriorating condition 

which had prevented him from paying 

attention to important public issues and 

requested that he declare his health status.

President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo made this known at a news conference in Enugu yesterday.

Nwodo also described the bail condition for Nnamdi Kanu’s release as “a celebrated example of judicial rascality and vowed to challenge the action in court.

Nwodo further said that Ohanaeze Ndigbo would file an action against the discriminatory appointments so far made by President Buhari against Ndigbo, as they were unconstitutional.

He said that although Ohanaeze was in support of a similar suit filed by Chief Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, in 2010 , he pointed out that it was only made public now because Agbakoba was recommended by the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, to be appointed a judge of the Supreme Court in a bid to disqualify and ridicule him.

He said that there are things left undone like the inability for the government to end the killings of innocent Nigerians by fulani herdsmen and railway development.

He said "Not too long ago, a group of northern elders met in Abuja and through their spokesperson, Alhaji Bashir Dalhatu , made very strong views on the national discourse. 

“Ohanaeze finds these conditions absolutely unpatriotic, inciting and capable of whipping divisive tendencies in our polity. We do not know how any patriotic person of high  character and reputation of our leaders at the Abuja meeting will wait for nearly three years to disassociate themselves from resolutions they contributed to, moved motions on, voted for, had taken seriously we also plead to be excused from the 1979 and 1999 constitutions which were prepared by military governments dominated by northern military officers in which officers from Ohanaeze states had only token representation.

Nwodo continued by saying that the     federation is totally out of sync with all known definitions of a federation, ciupled wuth independence of federating units.  

He pointed that Nigeria is a unitary state with 

too much powers in the federal government 

and no fiscal independence or responsibility 

for domestic security in the states and the 

 need for restructuring is so obvious when 

Kano with 9.5 million people has 44 local 

governments and Lagos with 9.1 million has 

20 local governments
