Ohanaeze Ndigbo said it has associated itself with the latest letter written by former president Olusegun Obasanjo to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The apex Pan socio-cultural Igbo group, said the group is also bothered over concerns raised by the former president over the insecurity situation in Nigeria.

In a statement signed by Emeka Attama, the media adviser to the president general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, John Nwodo, called for an emergency insecurity summit over Nigeria's security challenges.

Attama warned that failure to convene the discourse on the way out of Nigeria’s insecurity quagmire will still spell doom for the country.

“Ohanaeze’s reaction is that this (Obasanjo’s letter) is in tandem with the views canvassed by its President General in a recent press release— a strident call for the convening of a national discourse on the way forward in the present security debacle.”

“This is the only step that can assuage the current situation. It requires urgent action. We endorse his position absolutely. The sooner the better as things are really getting out of hand. Delay could spell doom for the country,” Attama said.

The leader of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Tanko Yakasai, has previously said that there is nothing patriotic about Obasanjo's letter, he said that, writing unpatriotic letters is a peculiar attitude of former president Obasanjo who he described as selfish.

CEOAfrica earlier reported that Obasanjo in the letter dated July 15, asked the president to take decisive action on insecurity in the country, saying the situation could degenerate into a full-blown crisis if not tackled appropriately.
