<p><strong><em>#ENDSARS protests has been raging in Nigeria. It has provoked commentaries across the Continent. Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, the President, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos State has also lent his voice. In this exclusive interview with OpenLife’s Staff Writer, Isaac Ngumah, he dissects developmental issues in Nigeria as it relates to the country’s 60th anniversary</em></strong></p>



<p><strong>What is your assessment of Nigeria at 60?</strong></p>



<p>Well,  ;you can see how the country is moving. We need a lot of mechanism to really put Nigeria in shape. Things are not really going well. Leaders in power are doing very well.</p>



<p>President is trying. Some governors, like <a href="https://openlife.ng/">Sanwo-Olu</a> are trying. But but those who are working with them are the ones sabotaging the efforts. That is the reason transformational positive results are not visible.</p>



<p>At 60, we ought to have moved beyong where we are. However, we must redouble our efforts to be truly seen as Africa’s giant. But all hope is not lost.</p>



<p><strong>Former President Obasanjo has declared that Nigeria is a failed state under Buhari. What is your view?</strong></p>



<p>Ohanaeze Ndigbo is a social cultural organization and that remains our primary concerns. Therefore, I have no contribution to make in that area.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Biafra,Oduduwa</strong></h2>



<p><strong>What can you say about the agitation for Biafra in the <a href="https://www.dailytrust.com.ng">East</a> and Oduduwa Republic in the South-West?</strong></p>



<p>Our own  ;interest is Ndigbo’s economic well being and cultural enlightenment including social behaviour with our host community.</p>



<p><strong>What can you say on the state of insecurity in the country?</strong></p>



<p>That is an engaging issue at the moment. Young ones are on the streets protesting against what they don’t like. #ENDSARS protests are everywhere. Government is responding. In Lagos here, governor Sanwo-Olu has demonstrated statesmanship. As a cultural association, we have communicated to Lagos <a href="https://www.vanguardngr.com">Ndigbo</a> to act within the law. We are not discouraging any protest but don’t take laws into your hands. Participate in ENDSARS protests but be law abiding. Besides, we strongly believe that the situation will come under control soon. </p>



<p><strong>Are you in support of an Igbo man becoming president in 2023?</strong></p>



<p>I have already issued a statement on that in my previous public statement. But for the purpose of clarity, dialogue should be the way to go. Ndigbo should start early negotiation with other tribes. <a href="https://openlife.ng/">Politics</a> is about negotiations and bargains.</p>
