As various stakeholders prepare for the National Conference scheduled to commence next month,  the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has been advised to take the back seat and allow constitutional experts to articulate and synthesize Igbo demands at the confab.

The call was made at the weekend by a member of board of trustees of Igbo World Congress (WIC), Mr  Obi Barth Oyibo Thompson, while speaking with journalists at Umuahia. He said    that the confab is very important to be wasted as it presents a good opportunity to address salient national issues.

He said that Ohanaeze Ndigbo and politicians should allow the Igbo Leaders of Thought led by Professor Ben Nwabueze, a renowned constitutional expert, to be at the driving seat of articulating Igbo agenda because “what is at stake is beyond the comprehension of many politicians”.
