Katsina State Governor Rt. Hon. Aminu Bello Masari has stressed the need for Igbo community to forge a common front in their activities in the state.
Governor Masari was speaking when he received the leadership of ohaneze ndigbo in the nineteen northern States and FCT,led by Eze pampos Nahiwe at government house ,katsina.
Governor Masari requested the igbo leaders to unite the various factions of their people in katsina.
The Governor noted that it was only in katsina that the crisis within the igbos had prevented them from having an Eze in the state.
The Governor asked the Igbo community in northern States to stop their baseless agitation for Biafran state within the Nigerian nation .
He contended that there is no village in katsina state that one would not find an Igbo trader.
The governor reminded them that the Igbo territorial area could not contain world Igbo population hence the need for them to move out.
On that premise, Governor Masari emphasized the need to live peacefully with host communities for their trades to flourish
Earlier, Eze pampos who is also the Eze ndigbo of Niger state told governor Masari that they were in katsina to resolve the crisis within the Igbo community in katsina, which had left them without a leader.
The Igbo leader said the delegation had already visited the Emir of katsina, Alhaji Abdulmummuni kabir usman who indicate intention to assist in reconciling the factions within the igbos.
He expressed gratitude to Governor Masari and the Emir for the assistance to igbos in the state.
Eze pampos said a resolution had already been reached for an interim leadership that would run for six months after which there would be an election of a new Eze to be coronated by the Emir of Katsina.
He used the visit to request the Governor to appoint an Igbo as either a member of the state executive council or a special assistant as done by some States such as kano.
