NIM Enjoins Nigerians On Spirit Of Self Sacrifice At Ed-il Kabir

Convener, Ndigbo Integration Movement, NIM, Chief Bestman Nze-Jumbo, on behalf of the movement worldwide, felicitates with Muslims in Nigeria on the occasion of the Ed-il Kabir, Islamic festivity this year. NIM, an Igbo social and cultural integration movement with principal aim of actualising the Igbo Presidency agenda come 2023, says that Muslim festive period calls to mind the need for self sacrifice as demonstrated by the Koranic patriarchs of old whose fits are being celebrated today.

“Without self sacrifice, there can be no nation building. Without self sacrifice, there can be no peaceful coexistance among people of diverse backgrounds.

“This spirit becomes particularly necessary as march towards the 2019 decisive election year. Nigerians in the spirit of the festivity must recognise the self sacrifice of others especially in presidency rotation,” says Chief Nze-Jumbo.

Like the patriarchs of old whose sacrifices are being committed today, says Jumbo, it is worthwhile for Nigerians to as matter of fairness call to mind the sacrifices of Ndigbo in the quest of nation building and favourably work with NIM in the actualisation of a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction in 2023.

 Again going down memory lane, NIM recalls that the last 19 years of civilian democracy in Nigeria had aptly demonstrated that critical stakeholders in the country are irreversibly committed to the global political\governance best practice.

 “As it stands, the Nigerian power rotation oscillates between the North and the South. And in the last 19 years of unbroken civilian democratic rule, all the geopolitical zones bar the South East have had a taste of power. By the special grace of God, 2023 will end an eight year unbroken rulership by the North after which it will revert back to the South.

“The Yorubas have taken their shot from 1999 to 2007. The South South has also taken a shot at power leaving the South East to balance the equation,” explained Nze-Jumbo.

The convener of NIM also stated that the time to start work on the project is now.  He further explained that NIM is all out to integrate all sons and daughters of Igbo across the country as a formidable pressure group towards actualizing Igbo presidency in 2
