Ohanaeze Defends Self Over Comments On 2023 Presidency

Following the alleged statement made by one Emeka Attamah against Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, the later has promised not to join issues with him or the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo.
The group noted that “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide” was a registered organisation under the law.
The group through its Secretary General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, stated that they are an independent organ, the apex youth socio-cultural organisation that independently pursues the collective interests of Ndigbo.
It said that it would continue to resist any attempt to humiliate sensible issues affecting Ndigbo whether political or otherwise.
Ohanaeze equally stated that they would never engage or join issues with elders, noting that Igbo culture forbids that.
The statement reads thus: “We will not allow the recent tirades of one Chief Emeka Attamah, who lacked the constitutional rights to use Ohanaeze Ndigbo platform to cast aspersions on the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, because such weighty allegations are matters of Ime Obi (highest decision making organ) of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, which Emeka Attamah is not a member or an elected executive member.
“We wish the general public to disregard his statement, which he uses Ohanaeze Ndigbo platform to curry favour and destabilise the forward ever 2023 Igbo Presidency.
“2023 Igbo Presidency is a new Igbo political rebirth project driven by respected, professionals in various facets of human endeavour, but disciplined younger generation of Igbo who never witnessed the Nigeria/Biafra Civil War, and are determined to champion the political survival of Igbo, not through begging culture but through moral persuasion and no blackmail will stop an idea whose time has come.
“There’s no record of Ime Obi highest decision making organ of Ohanaeze Ndigbo dissolving the elected executive members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, between 2014/2016 on a four-year mandate given to Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
“But amidst leadership challenges in 2016, the Isiguzoro-led Exco suspended its activities, having spent only one year, eight months in office out of the billed four year tenure, was mandated by another well attended convention in Abakilki, Ebonyi State in 2018, there Isiguzoro was granted a mandate to end his remaining tenure in 2021.
“In other to put the record Straight, the office of the Youth Wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo is under the supervision of the Secretary General, Dim Uche Okwukwu, and we work harmoniously to ensure Igbo get it right in supporting President Muhammadu Buhari in the last elections.
