The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Ime-Obi, on Saturday, declared that no force on earth will stop the swearing-in of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu on May 29.
Ime-Obi, which is Ohanaeze’s highest decision-making body, said the organization would give Tinubu the maximum support towards ensuring that his administration succeeds.
It was reacting to a faction of the Ohanaeze that it would not recognize Tinubu as the President-elect over his refusal to include Igbos in his transition committee.
Speaking through the Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the body stressed that it recognizes Tinubu as the President-elect of Nigeria and would support him after his inauguration.
Chatting with DAILY POST, Isiguzoro said: “Some people are making an unauthorized statement that they don’t recognize Tinubu as the president-elect, but let me make it categorically clear that those statements are coming from unpatriotic elements that have been suspended from the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“Ohanaeze will participate fully in the inauguration of the President-elect. It’s unpatriotic for anyone to use the name of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to say that a man who was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election would not be recognized by Ndigbo.
“Ndigbo fully recognizes the president-elect, Vice President-elect, Shettima and we will continue to give them maximum support until a court of competent jurisdiction says otherwise.
