Many dignitaries will on December 11, 2021 be at Eze Imo Palace, Mbari Street, Owerri, the Imo State capital, for the presentation of a book written by Governor Hope Uzodinma.

The book, titled: Reflection on the Igbo Question, is an attempt to situate the marginalisation of Ndigbo in the Nigerian project and how best to overcome the situation.

In a statement at the weekend, Information and Strategy Commissioner Declan Emelumba described the book as the thoughts of the governor on the existential challenges of Ndigbo in Nigeria.

He noted that although Uzodimma is a patriotic Nigerian who believes in the unity of the country, he wants other Nigerians to understand the pains of Ndigbo with a view to addressing the anomalies.

Reflections on the Igbo question, the commissioner said, underlines and projects the governor’s thoughts on the existential challenges of Ndigbo in project Nigeria, including real and perceived marginalisation.

Emelumba said the book also x-rays the denial of justice and equity to Ndigbo such that some of them now feel despondent and abandoned.

But most importantly, said the commissioner, the book gives a graphic guideline on how best to address the vexing issue to enable Ndigbo have a fair and due share in the Nigerian project.

Describing the book as a must read for Ndigbo and their neighbours, Emelumba said the presentation is part of the elaborate birthday ceremony for the governor on December 12.

He enjoined all those who believe in the unity of Nigeria to get a copy of the book to enable them understand the feeling and expectations of Ndigbo from the Nigeria project.
