In a letter written and signed by himself which has been circulating in the social media, the owner of a leading logistics company in the country declares, ”I want to express my deepest gratitude for the honour of being selected as mayor Ndigbo. It is truly humbling to have been considered for such a significant and important position.

Please know that my respect for Ndigbo and the unity of Nigeria remains steadfast, and I am committed to supporting its goals in other capacities.
I sincerely thank you once again for the opportunity, and I look forward to collaborating with you in the future to uphold shared ideals for the betterment of humanity. I deeply regret any inconvenience this unexpected withdrawal may have caused, particularly to my dear friends, esteemed traditional rulers, religious leaders, prominent business leaders, especially the Diaspora community who have significant travel arrangements to attend this event, ”Chief said.
He also extended his heartfelt appreciation to the planning committee, led by Chief Tony Obianuju, with the assistance of Chief Solomon and other dedicated members, who generously committed their time and resources to this project. Your efforts are truly valued.
