The Engr. Chidi Ibeh-led faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Sunday, announced a shutdown of the national secretariat of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization in Enugu.
It also declared that the Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in 2023 was not negotiable, even as he commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing Major. Gen Lucky Irabor as the Chief of Defence Staff.
Ibeh made the pronouncement after a tour of the secretariat with some members of the National Executive Council.
The Street Journal had reported that the Ohanaeze election which produced Ambassador George Obizor, saw quite a number of contestants pulling out from the election on the day it held with the emergence of two factions; one led by Obiozor, the other, led by Ibeh.
“Having said that, I am calling on my purported elected elder brother, Prof. George Obiozor to begin to see issues and accept the position which we have given him here as the chairman, Elders’ Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, that is his due place; they say give honour to whom honour is due. He is my revered elder brother whom I love and respect and he has the capacity to drive that elders’ council,” he stated.
