    IBN Urges South East Leaders to Prioritize Sustainable Development

    The Igbo-Biafra Nationalists (IBN) have called on political leaders in Nigeria’s South East to focus on sustainable development. In a statement issued to newsmen in Owerri, IBN spokesperson Edoziuno Chukwunonso emphasized the need for a commitment to principles of responsible governance and accountability to ensure the prosperity and well-being of the region’s people.

    “We, the Igbo-Biafra Nationalists and the Indigenous People of the Igbo Nation for Self-Determination, issue an urgent call to our political representatives to pledge their unwavering commitment to sustainable development. Our collective vision, rooted in the principles of responsible governance and accountability, compels us to advocate for the prosperity and well-being of our people in the South-East region,” Chukwunonso stated.

    Highlighting the core values of human rights, sustainable development, and responsible governance, Chukwunonso described these principles as essential components of a thriving and equitable society. He stressed that sustainable development is a moral imperative that balances the needs of the present with the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This encompasses economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social inclusion.

    “Our political representatives must prioritize these pillars to create a resilient and vibrant South-East. The dividends of democracy — justice, equality, and prosperity — must not remain elusive promises but become tangible realities for our people,” he added.

    To achieve this, IBN calls on political leaders to adopt transparent and inclusive governance practices, engage with civil society, uphold the rule of law, and implement policies that promote economic diversification, infrastructure development, and environmental conservation.

    “Accountability is paramount. We demand that our leaders be held to the highest standards of integrity and transparency. Corruption and mismanagement undermine the very foundation of democracy and impede progress. Therefore, we call for robust mechanisms to monitor and evaluate the performance of our representatives, ensuring they remain true to their mandate,” Chukwunonso concluded.
