Professor JEC Obilong, the Ochi Ndigbo of Jos led a delegation of Igbo community on a courtesy visit to the Plateau State Governor, Rt. Hon Simon Bako Lalong on Friday 7 July 2017 at the new Government House Rayfield, Jos.
The massage delivered was as follows:
We are not Igbos in the diaspora but Igbos of the Plateau
We are not
going anywhere in response to the Arewa Youth, because we are part and
parcel of Plateau State. Our children are born here, established our
work hear, eat the food of Plateau, married in Plateau, entered and are
in all the nook and crannies of Plateau and stakeholders of Plateau. We
are not living plateau.
We have been planted in Plateau with plateau soil, and germinated and grown.
We
told the Governor of Kaduna State as we met on the platform of Igbos of
the North, we are igbos of the the North so we are of Plateau.
We request that anytime the Governor is talking of Plateau community, don’t forget to remember us as Plateau community.
This is our message.
