THREE days to the National Election of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Secretary-General of the organization, Barr. Uche Okwukwu, has dragged the President-General, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, to court, seeking to stop him from conducting the exercise.
Nwodo is the sole defendant in the suit.
Okwukwu has been at loggerheads with Nwodo leading to his recent suspension and lately the inauguration of a parallel Ohanaeze Election Committee.
Okwukwu is, however, claiming that the Ime-Obi meeting of Ohanaeze where the Nwodo leadership inaugurated an election committee was null and void as the latter had no powers to summon such a meeting.
