Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Igbo socio-cultural organization Firmly Opposed to alleged plans by two South-east governors whose Names are not Disclosed to Crown Ikedi Ohakim, the former governor of Imo State, as the next President-General of the body.
The Socio-Cultural Organization Rejects attempt to Change the organization’s constitution with the goal of increasing a tenure elongation for the current president-general from Imo State.
The Secretary General of the organization, Okechukwu Isiguzoro,In a statement to Ohanaeze said that with not more than 90 days to its scheduled election, there was plans for installing aside-lining Rivers State in the election of the next president general.
Mr. Okechukwu Isigguzoro said that Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo stood against any effort to introduce a former governor into the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, saying that those who spoil historical patterns and wanned of their ancestral spirits would face grievous Consequences.
Recently actions suggested that a devious person in Igbo organization has been mobilized to lure Chief Ikedi Ohakim, a respected former governor, into pursuing a non-existent position as President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“We urge Chief Ohakim to summon his righteous resolve and unequivocally decline such temptations. At this stage of his life, with a rich and storied political history, we implore him to focus on the political landscape where his leadership is genuinely needed—whether that be as a governor (for a single term), senator, vice president, or even the president of Nigeria in the near future.
According to Okechukwu Isiguzoro
“Should Chief Ohakim heed the voice of wisdom, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will fervently support his re-election as governor of Imo State.
“Chief Ohakim must take heed and be mindful of those deceitful political elites who have misled two Igbo elder statesmen from Imo State, leading them to dismal ends, despite the numerous admonitions from the Igbo College of Archbishops and Bishops advocating for peace and restoration within Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“He should recognize that the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo is presently in a constitutionally mandated transition period, and it would be both short-sighted and detrimental for him to act as an impediment to the emergence of the next President-General from Rivers State.”
“Such actions are inherently illegitimate and betray the principles upon which our esteemed organization was founded. We characterize such proposals as sordid—satanic and barbaric in nature and we wish to communicate this without any ambiguity.
“To deny Rivers State the opportunity to assume the position of President-General in 2025 would constitute an egregious extension of 24 years of subjugation, an affront to the unity and aspirations of our people.”
This is to tell members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other Igbo citizens to be at guard on confronting the challenges, assuring that the next leader would go through a due and transparent process.
