In a statement he issued in Owerri on the matter, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba described the book as the thoughts of the governor on the existential challenges of Ndigbo in the Nigerian State.
According to Emelumba, although Uzodimma is a patriotic Nigerian who believes in the unity of the country, he wants other Nigerians to understand the pains of Ndigbo with a view to addressing the anomalies.
Reflections on the Igbo question clearly underlines and projects his thoughts on the existential challenges of Ndigbo in project Nigeria, including real and perceived marginalization.
