Iwuanyanwu Never Called Yoruba Rascals – Ohanaeze CoverStories
In a statement by Dr Chiedozie Ogbonnia, the national publicity secretary, Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, the group explained that Iwuanyanwu referred to political thugs that attacked Igbos in Lagos as rascals, adding that the elder statement would never call Yoruba rascals.
The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to the fake news making the rounds that the chairman, Council of Elders, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, referred to the Yoruba as political rascals. “This is a typical falsehood, fabricated by social media entrepreneurs, decorated with wings, expanded with venoms, injected with ethnic nuances, and propelled to fly to various corners, fronts, and heights in order to create inter-ethnic mistrust between the age-long partners in the social, cultural, religious and economic development of Nigeria. Indeed it is a lie from the pit of hell.
“Speaking in Awka, Anambra State on Saturday at the event to mark the one year in office of Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra state, Iwuanyanwu drew the attention of the audience and the general public to the fact that Ndigbo and Yoruba people are neither quarreling nor fighting, implying that the Yoruba are a friendly group of people.
