DIMAPUR — MLA Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu on Thursday said that Nagas have a common dream and a shared responsibility to come together as one entity, calling for stronger emotional, physical and spiritual integration among Naga communities.
Addressing the 21st Veikhang Katamnao Long General Conference-cum-Sports, Cultural and Literary Meet 2026 at Ukhrul in Manipur, Azo said the South Nagas and Nagas of the mainland need to build a better and more cordial relationship.
“Our emotional integration itself is not enough and the same is not serving its main purpose of a greater Nagaland,” he said, adding that physical and spiritual integration must also be encouraged.
According to an update, Azo lamented that people are “too much depending on our strength and dominance over one another” and said that the legacy one leaves behind is more important than the position or status one holds.
“Our position or status are temporary and it will go away anytime and will soon be forgotten,” he said, adding that a good legacy will live on and be remembered even after death.

He challenged the congregation to leave behind a legacy that will be loved, remembered and cherished.
The MLA also encouraged national workers to live up to the expectations of the general public by coming together under “one umbrella, one group, one voice and one tax.”
He said the Political Affairs Committee headed by Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has taken a decision on January 17, 2026, to adopt a more honest approach towards the Naga political issue and to try to bring it to a logical conclusion “if the national workers cooperate and are willing.”
