Issues in fresh tussle against Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s soul

It could be said that no year had passed in the lifespan of the organization without issues, such as rightful headship, tenure of elected officials among others, troubling the body. While some of these issues were resolved through the intervention of elders and political stakeholders, others had gone through litigation at various courts.

“I am one of the founding members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in 1976. After the Nigerian civil war, some Igbo patriots and I came together to discuss the way forward for Ndigbo with the good intention to unite our people under a common umbrella body. Nzekwe noted that throughout the 44 years existence of the apex Igbo group, “it was neither registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission, nor recognized by notable international bodies as a corporate personality.

“The young men are just being used to create confusion in Igbo land. The chairman of our BoT remains the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe. All the eminent Igbo leaders are in Ohanaeze: Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Prof Ben Nwabueze, SAN, Southeast governors, among others,” he declared. Consequently, Okorie warned: “Ohanaeze has become spiritual and is the umbrella union of the entire Igbo people. Anybody tampering with it is endangering his life and the life of his generation. If the proponents of the new group want to be useful to Ndigbo, they can go and form another association, but not with the name Ohanaeze Ndigbo.”

“They are planning to cause disaffection and enrich themselves in the process. It is sad and unfortunate,” Uwazuruike said. He wondered how Igwe Nkelli would supplant His Highness, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe, who is the Board of Trustees chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.IRRITATED by the scale of condemnations of its action and that of the new group, the Corporate Affairs Commission , announced the withdrawal of the certificate it issued the new group.
