Vice President Kashim Shettima has described the Igbos as the greatest stakeholders in the Nigerian project, noting that half of Abuja is owned by Ndigbo. His remarks highlight the significant contributions of the Igbo community to national development and underscore their influence in the country’s economic and social landscape.
The statement has drawn attention across political and cultural circles, with many interpreting it as a call for greater unity and recognition of the role played by the Igbos in shaping Nigeria’s future. Analysts say the Vice President’s comments could help foster inclusivity and strengthen national cohesion at a time when ethnic relations remain a sensitive issue in the country.
