Speaking on Saturday when the Ndigbo Community in Ekiti conferred him with the traditional title of ‘Nwanne Di Namba’ at the Olukayode Stadium, in Ado Ekiti during the Igbo Cultural Day, Governor Ayodele Fayose, declared that in the event that the country is divided, only the Igbo nation can survive because of their resilience.

He said: “Whatever anybody says, the Igbos are a unique people in the country. God forbid, if Nigeria should break, they are the only nation that can survive because they are industrious people.

”All the permanent structures found everywhere are owned by the Igbo people. Wherever you go in the country, you will find an igbo man there.

“No igbo man can vote for any other party in Ekiti State except the party I belong to because we are bonded with one another,“ he said.

Earlier in his address, the President General of Ndigbo Community in South West, Chief Nathaniel Ezeonu said that the Igbo people in Ekiti State want to have their own market.

He pleaded with Governor Fayose to rescind the decision to shut down Fayose market believed to be populated by igbo traders selling phones and other accessories.

Ezeonu said that the the theme of the Cultural Day titled: Ndigbo and Socio-economic Reality in Nigeria, Which way Forward, was apt because the race have contributed more to the economic development of the country.
