Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has stated that it has enough credible evidence to prove Peter Obi's victory in the 25th February presidential election. The group stated this in a release by the group National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, while debunking its purported endorsement of David Umahi’s ambition to become the Senate President of 10th Nigerian National Assembly.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Denies Backing David Umahi For Senate Presidency, Says Peter Obi’s Presidency Still In PursuitThe group stated this in a release by the group National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, while debunking its purported endorsement of David Umahi’s ambition to become the Senate President of 10th Nigerian National Assembly.
The statement reads: “The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to the reckless and mischievous publication making the rounds that “Ohanaeze Ndigbo canvasses for Umahi’s Senate Presidency”. The press statement issued by Mazi Okechuwu Isiguzoro, using the name of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, touted that the “Senate president in this dispensation should emerge from the South East of Nigeria”.
“Since the Ohanaeze election which was held on January 10, 2021, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has consistently reminded the general public that the Secretary General of the body is Ambassador Okey Emuchay, MFR and that publications of any kind coming from Isiguzoro should be ignored.
“Ohanaeze was tempted to ignore the publication making the rounds on"canvassing for senate presidency" but since silence may be misconstrued as giving validity to such a whimsical figment of a transactional imagination, this prompt rebuttal becomes very imperative.
