He said: “Ladies and gentlemen, over the years, we have been very successful in our business as a people in the South East and we have been able to achieve what we achieved post civil war, rebuilding the South East without the intervention of the government only because we are strategic in our thinking but I want to tell you that why we have gotten it wrong in our political growth is that rather than apply that formula that had helped us in our businesses, in our economic life, the Igbo have been sentimental. “Sentiment does not drive political growth, participation, engagement and advancement. It does not drive the dividends of democracy.
