THE leadership crisis rocking the Federal Capital Territory chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has deepened leading to impeachment of the President of the chapter, Ifeanyichukwu Obasi Nweze by the General Assembly of the body over alleged infraction of the rules.
The impeachment conducted by the General Assembly, which is the body’s highest policy making organ, is in line with its powers from article 9 of the bylaws of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, FCT Chapter as amended in 2019.
“That at the meeting, the recent unwholesome activities of Mr. Ifeanyichukwu Obasi Nweze were reviewed after he failed to submit himself for a session with the disciplinary committee set up to look into his misdemeanors in line with article 16 of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo FCT Bylaws as amended 2019”. “That Mr. Ifeanyichukwu Obasi Nweze through his actions, brought shame and opprobrium to the FCT Igbo Community in general and Ohanaeze Ndigbo in particular when he invited and shamelessly showcased some unauthorized persons to the General Assembly of Ohanaeze Ndigbo FCT held on Saturday, 2nd September, 2023”, which they claimed violated Article16 .
In a statement issued and signed by 18 members of the executive committee of the chapter, notifying the public of the impeachment, they also accused Nweze of calling unauthorized General Assembly which according to them was illegal and against the rules of the chapter.
