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.
