Governor of Ebonyi State Dave Umahi has said Igbo should not be schemed out of Nigeria’s leadership, stressing that people of the Southeast will work for the country’s unity.
Umahi, who spoke at an inter-denominational prayer summit in Abakaliki on Friday, called for the fair treatment of Igbo people by Nigerians.
“People should not be afraid of us. We will work with God to restore the peace of this nation. We will work with the people for the love and unity of this country.

“Give us a chance, treat us fairly for we have sacrificed a lot to the building of this nation.
“What is good for other regions should be good for the South-East.
“And let me make it clear, zoning or no zoning, party or no party, South-East must not be schemed out of the affairs of this country.”
