Professor Ihechukwu Madubuike, a former Minister of Education and Health, expressed his disappointment over the lack of a unified approach in Igbo land. He pointed out the absence of a consensus or agreement from a widely publicized economic summit.
In a recent paper presentation in Enugu, Madubuike lamented the lack of cohesion and cooperation among the region's governors.
Madubuike noted a trend where each governor seeks individual recognition and praise, rather than working together for the collective benefit of Igbo land.
He underscored the necessity of a collective effort, stating that the region's challenges require a united front rather than individualistic approaches.
Madubuike emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration at the regional level, suggesting that survival and progress would be more achievable through joint efforts rather than individual state-level initiatives.

During an interview with The Vanguard, Madubuike stated, "It will surprise you that up till today, there is no agreed communique from that highly advertised economic summit. Recently, during a paper presentation in Enugu, I bemoaned the lack of cohesion and cooperation among our governors. Everyone is dancing and wanting to be applauded. Our situation in Igbo land is more than individual championships. We need a group championship if we are going to survive. We must survive as a group, not as individual states."
