- The government of ebonyi state speaks out over the viral video portraying ebonyi natives in a bad image.

The executive governor of ebonyi state, Francis Nwifuru has told the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Ndigbo to protect the image and value of Ndigbo from being tarnished by the enemies of the Ndigbo.
Speaking through the state Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Jude Okpor, he gave the advice shortly after a meeting with the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo, in Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi State.
He compelled the leadership of Ohaneze to remain a leading umbrella of Unity and Progress in the southeast zone. Also adding that no Igbo man can attain the level of sainthood by tarnishing the image of his or her brother, but ‘would summarily dent the collective image of the Igbo nation’.

In his words, he said, “The use of social media in trying suspects, instead of following due process through a court of competent jurisdiction, is uncalled-for. The viral video will not only tarnish the image of Ebonyi people but the corporate image of the Igbos at large”.
