The
President General of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Barr Nnia Nwodo has assured Anambra
people that their elections scheduled forNovember, 2017 will be held .
He made this declaration in an
address at the Anambra state House of Assembly in Awka when he visited the
members .He extolled the primal position of Anambra people in Igbo
affairs and Nigeria affairs noted some Anambrarians that have brought
glory to Igbo land.
These included the Great Zik of Africa, Nwafor
Orizu,Mokwugo Okoye, Osita Agwuna, Mbazuluike Amaechi, Pius Okigbo,,Odumegwu
Ojukwu, Jerome Udoji, Chuba Okadigbo, Chimamanda Adichie, the world's
greatest scientist Philip Emeagwali . He lauded Governor Willy
Obiano for his giant strides in the state .
He noted that nobody has the
right to tell Anambrarians not to come out and vote for candidates of their
choice in the oncoming elections and therefore countermanded the 'no-election'
order by Nnamdi Kanu,the leader of IPOB.
In another development, the
national deputy publicity secretary of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chuks Ibegbu has
absolved himself from the recent write ups on critical national issues by the
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council. He noted that the insinuation that he
motivates ,writes or advises the writers of those releases is
untrue.
He made
it very clear that the mouth piece of Ohanaeze Ndigbo is the
President General or the Publicity Unit/Any other person mandated to
speak on behalf of the organisation.
As the pioneer Secretary General and later
Ag National President of the organisation it was very clear to him
that the Youth wing of the body is subject to the parent body and should always
consult it before making comments on sensitive national issues.
He warned against the dropping of
his name by anybody.
