Nwosu said after taking a critical look at political development in the land in recent times felt it was wise to advise Buhari to tread cautiously and introspectively before taking certain critical decision. ‘’President Muhammadu Buhari is known for his integrity trademark, he should remain focused and not be deceived by some political marauders that seem to love him greatly now. If he shifts from what Nigerians know him of, that is, integrity, he is finished. He should avoid being used and resist the danger of ‘’I know it all’’. ‘’If you ask me, it is early to criticize Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. I still think he meant well for Ndigbo in Lagos state. He has not been known to have a discriminatory record I will still urge him to integrate Ndigbo in his cabinet as his predecessor did. It will pay him better politically”. Nwosu said his commitment despite the challenges that abound is to continue to replicate undiluted Igbo culture outside Igbo land. He said Ndigbo will use the occasion to honor Under 17 Eaglets Coach, Emmanuel Amuneke for all his contributions to sports development and encouragements to youth. Nwosu said different masquerades from Igbo land will perform, just as students of Theatre Arts Dept. Nnamdi Azikiwe University will be on ground to display their skill. There will be Igbo delicacies exhibition, Igbo Beauty parade and a novelty march between Obieziokwu Ndigbo of Mushin and Igbo Speaking Community in Lagos.
