Disquiet as Ohanaeze Elders Council declares emergence of Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as president illegal

DAILY POST

A faction of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo has described the emergence of Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as the body’s Secretary-General as unconstitutional and illegal.

The Ohanaeze Elders Council, led by Prince Richard Ozobu, said the laid down process by the organization’s constitution was not followed in Iwuanyawu’s emergence.

Recall that a delegation of the Imo Elders Council led by its Chairman, Cletus Ilomuanya, presented Iwuanyanwu to Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, on Wednesday.

Iwuanyanwu’s appointment followed the death of the former Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, George Obiozor.

However, the Ozobu-led elders’ council wondered why the elder statesman would subject himself to such illegality when he was part of those that amended Ohanaeze’s Constitution in 2004.

The position of the elders was disclosed to DAILY POST on Thursday morning by the Secretary General of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
