The United Igbo Elders Council (UNIEC), a socio-cultural organization advocating for Igbo national unity, has made a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to facilitate the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Speaking to journalists, the leader of the group, His Lordship Justice Alpha Ikpeama, emphasized the urgent need for the federal government to act.

“Ala Igbo is one united entity. An injury to one Igbo person is an injury to the entire Igbo nation. Nnamdi Kanu is our illustrious son, and his health is currently at serious risk,” he stated.

Justice Ikpeama also noted that Kanu’s continued detention is adversely affecting both the economy and security of the South-East region.

The Director General of the United Igbo Elders Council (UNIEC) Worldwide, His Lordship Justice Alpha Ikpeama, has commended the National Assembly, especially Sen. Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President Sen. Onyekachi Nwebonyi and Sen Ned Nwoko for their participatory roles in the ongoing review of the 1999 Constitution. This commendation was contained in a communiqué issued after the two-day Zonal Public Hearing held at the International Conference Centre, Enugu, from July 4th to 5th, 2025.

In the communiqué, Justice Ikpeama expressed gratitude to the dedicated members of UNIEC who travelled from the seven Igbo-speaking states—Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Delta, and Rivers—to participate in the constitutional review process.

He lauded the Senate President, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, for extending attention to the Southeast and taking steps toward resolving the region’s longstanding issues of marginalisation—particularly in areas of state and local government creation. Justice Ikpeama urged Sen. Akpabio to also prioritize addressing the growing insecurity in the region before it escalates beyond control.

Sen. Onyekachi Nwebonyi was singled out for praise, with the UNIEC leader describing his leadership as exemplary during the peaceful two-day hearing. Since assuming office as the Senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, Nwebonyi has championed both national and regional interests, Justice Ikpeama noted, adding that posterity will remember him as a people-oriented leader.

In a related development, the Council made a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to facilitate the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a step toward achieving lasting peace and stability in the Southeast. According to UNIEC, such a move would strengthen the bond between the presidency and the Igbo nation.

On the matter of state creation, the group acknowledged the various agitations within Igboland but emphasized the need to give priority to the proposed Anioma State. This position was clarified by UNIEC’s National Director of Media and Publicity, Prof. Obasi Igwe, during a media briefing.

Prof. Igwe emphasized that UNIEC is a non-sectarian, non-denominational, and non-profit-making organization committed to promoting Igbo interests within the context of a united and equitable Nigeria. He disclosed that the Council was invited to the Senate Committee Public Hearing on state creation through the efforts of Senator Ned Nwoko, who has been at the forefront of the Anioma State advocacy.

According to Prof. Igwe, while UNIEC supports the creation of additional states in Igboland, the proposed Anioma State deserves priority to address long-standing marginalization of the Igbo-speaking people in Delta State by other ethnic groups such as the Urhobo, Itsekiri, and Ijaw.

“The creation of Anioma State will not only empower the Igbo population in Delta but also enhance equitable development across the region. It’s a win-win for both the proposed Anioma State and the remaining Delta State, potentially giving rise to two capital cities—Asaba and Warri—thus driving more development,” he explained.

He stressed that opposition to Anioma’s creation from within the Igbo fold is often rooted in personal interest rather than collective progress. “South-East and the Igbo Nation are not synonymous,” he said, urging unity across all Igbo-speaking regions in anticipation of possible national restructuring.

Highlighting the strategic value of Anioma State, Prof. Igwe noted that it aligns with the ongoing efforts to rotate the presidency of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to Rivers State, a move aimed at strengthening Igbo unity. He argued that Igbo cohesion is vital, particularly in the face of a potential national referendum or plebiscite on the nature of Nigeria’s federal structure.

“Creation of Anioma State is consistent with the long-term unity of the Igbo people. Opposition should be evaluated for its rationality, not just its loudness. Enlightened discourse—not rancour—should drive this process,” he said.

Prof. Igwe concluded by applauding Senator Ned Nwoko for his tireless efforts, noting that his leadership is a significant step toward repositioning the Igbo nation within Nigeria’s evolving political framework.

“The Igbos should rally behind Sen. Ned Nwoko. If Anioma State is created, it not only brings equity but also positions us better for future restructuring, especially considering that Rivers State—largely Igbo—already hosts the Ohanaeze President-General. This move represents a monumental stride towards Igbo unity.”

The United Igbo Elders Council (UNIEC) Worldwide, an organization dedicated to the unity, peace, and progress of the Igbo nation, vehemently condemns the gruesome and senseless murder of eleven (11) innocent Ebonyi men during their peaceful meeting in Olumbanasa, Anambra West Local Government Area of Anambra State by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.

We regard this heinous act as a gross display of man’s inhumanity to man, and an assault on the values of Igbo brotherhood and unity which we hold dear. This tragedy is not only heartbreaking but also unacceptable in a civilized society.

We call on all security agencies to urgently investigate this attack and ensure that the perpetrators are identified, apprehended, and prosecuted without delay. Justice must prevail.

We commend His Excellency, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, for his swift intervention to prevent reprisal attacks and maintain peace in the affected communities. We urge him to further ensure that the culprits are brought to justice and that such acts of violence are not allowed to fester in any part of Igboland.

We mourn with the families of the victims and pray for the peaceful repose of the departed souls. May their deaths not be in vain.

Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has reaffirmed his commitment to industrialization by emphasizing that the reactivation of the Nigeria Cement Company (NIGERCEM) in Nkalagu was one of his key campaign promises. During a recent address, he highlighted ongoing efforts by his administration to revive the once-thriving cement factory, which is crucial for job creation, economic growth, and infrastructural development in the state.

Nwifuru assured the public that his government is engaging 15 man committee, stakeholders and private investors to ensure the full revitalization of the plant. He described NIGERCEM as a strategic asset that will play a major role in transforming Ebonyi into an industrial hub.


As part of the  industrialization drive, Ebonyi State Government has set up a 15- Member committee to work towards the reactivation of the  NIGERCEM Factory, Nkalagu.

Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru announced this during a church service at the Government House Chapel,

The committee members are , Mrs. Catherine Ogbu, Prof. Adline Idike, Hon. Iduma Igariwey, Associate Prof. Ben Odoh, Hon. Sunday Eze and Sen. Chris Nwankwo.
