Very fine, that article only support the original post. It was the legitimate Ohanaeze that endorsed Jonathan and the position has not changed. Take a look at the President-General of the group.

MzJackBaueress:
don't mind the protection seeker who has suddenly become the spokesman of Ndi Igbo on Nairaland.

Did Jonathan scam Igbos on the second niger bridge? Yes or no?

That's the question we should answer.

IyaIode:

Does this make sense to you?

@topic


One faction is loyal to the PDP and the other is loyal to the APC. It is not your place to tell use which one is legitimate.

If Gej won the mor0ns would've found a way to re-integrate into the group without making nuisance of themselves..Politicians,that's one thing they do better than us.

Please and please again,Miss..This thread is for NDI-IGBO,not NDI-YORUBA.Leave us to do our thing,,stop disgracing yourself trying to fall in..ok??

barcanista:
Actually I blame the Journalists for publishing the article in a manner that made it appear like the "Ohanaeze has suddenly done a 180' on Goodluck Jonathan. They should have simply said "Factional" or Splinter Ohanaeze group. I wonder what they seek to achieve though

IamOdin:


Public attention!!.They want to make their money even if it means tarnishing one's image.They just don't care.

Tolexander:
which one is legitimate and which one is illegitimate? I think that should be determined by the court and not any interested individual.

A factional group claimed the two-year tenure of the administration of Chief Gary Igariwey will end by January 12, 2015. Hence, the need to form a caretaker committee in order not to have a vacuum of leadership leading to the appointment of Ralph Obiorah caretaker committee.

What has made the leadership of Cheif Gary absolutely legitimate. Though I understand he has his own seeming genuine reason, that is up to the court to decide, not we the interested individuals.

COURT THREATEN TO JAIL SOME OHANAEZE LEADERs

An Enugu State High Court judge, Justice Romanus Odugu, has threatened to jail some leaders of the Igbo pan cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, for contempt if they disobey an order restraining them from conducting an election to elect a new executive committee for the organisation.

The threat was contained in a Notice of Consequence of Disobedience of Court Order (Form 48) issued by the court on the Ohanaeze Ndigbo chieftains, including an elder statesman, Chief Mbazuluike Amechi, Senator Chris Ngige, Chief Enechi Onyia, SAN, Dr Eze Agbogu, Prince Richard Ozobu, Prince Chukwuemeka Onyesoh, Chief Raph Obioha and Chief Chekwas Okorie.

Others are Prof. Ukwu I. Ukwu, Senator Offia Nwali, Dr. Jumbo Offor, Dr. Zed Chukwujama, Prof. Elochuchukwu Amucheazi,   Elder Oyibo Chukwu and Lady Maria Okwor.

The court warned that unless they obey the directives contained in the order, they would be guilty of contempt of court and liable to be committed to prison.

The court had earlier issued an interim injunction, restraining Amechi and four others from holding any election in December 2014, or before January 7, 2015, to elect a new executive for the organisation.

Justice Odugu gave the order in suit no. E/513/2014, which was brought before him by the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Gary Igariwey, and Secretary General, Dr Joe Nwaorgu, on behalf of themselves and the National Executive of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide.

Joined as 1st to 5th defendants respectively in the suit are Chief Mbazulike Amechi, Enechi Onyia, SAN (purported chairman and member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Elders Council), Prince Eze Agbogu, Prince Richard Ozobu and Chukwuemeka Onyenso (purported chairman and member of the purported Ohanaeze Ndigbo 2014 Election Committee).

The court order read, “The 1st and 5th defendants are hereby restrained from conducting any election for Ohanaeze Ndigbo and/or creating any 3rd party in the National Executive of Ohanaeze Ndigbo

“The defendants, either by themselves, agents or privies, are hereby restrained from making any further public statements, media publications or announcements on behalf of the purported National Executive Committee as constituted by the 1st defendant pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.

“The defendants are hereby restrained as presently constituted from further parading themselves either as Chairman of Elders Council or members of the National Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo respectively, pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.”

The court also ordered that the plaintiffs/applicants should enter an undertaking to pay damages in the sum of N500, 000 if it turns out that the order ought not to have been made by the court.

It would be recalled that the organisation had been embroiled in a crisis over the tenure of its executive, with some members insisting that the tenure was two years while others, including the members of the current executive committee, said that the duration of their stay in office had been reviewed upwards to four years.

It's time to let go of our differences because the elections had become a history, and a new dawn has surfaced. We are all Winners regardless of our preferred Party or Candidate during the polls. We are Winners because we proved the World wrong - for expecting Nigeria to plunge into 21st Century Civil War and eventually break up!
I am seizing this platform and this opportunity to call on Barcanista and his Team to sheath their swords. They should halt their "online" struggle for a bound-to-fail project in Lower Niger Republic, and concentrate their struggles on the Unity of Nigeria.
Rome wasn't built in a Day, and we are definitely going to overcome the challenges we are facing as a Country presently. Let's preach for peace and unity. Let's start making posts that will encourage one Nigeria and promote brotherhood among all Nigerians.
I'm proudly a Nigerian! Are you?

Obiano though Governor of Anambra state still enjoys his inalienable right to association. His position was his own idea and was never endorsed by the Igbo majority. Beside, he never went there to abuse Jonathan. Arthur Eze is a businessman, he went there for himself and not for Ndigbos. Visiting Buhari though is not all that bad, but what is said at the meeting is more important.

In the case of the APC consortium parading themselves as Ohanaeze, they made it appear like the "Ohanaeze" body did a 180 on Jonathan. Whereas they have been pro-Buhari/APC from the onset. I respect their right to association but their deceptive tactics is the purpose of the thread.

gbosaa:

Agbaje is not your problem, if there's any ethnic tension in Lagos which might affect the pattern of voting today, blame it on Apc and you guys should stop mentioning the igbokwe and nwabueze. Those names are not the face of Igbos in Lagos and have not contributed anything to the progress of Igbo people in lagos. Sack them, they won't be missed.

I don't understand what you mean by the emboldened. I have said it countless times that Nigeria need restructuring. This is the only condition for we to really say that we are enjoying unity. There are so many fundamental structural flaws that has been negating the growth and development of the Nigeria state and her people. I am not a secessionists, I believe that unity is sweet where there is equity.

Then, it is save to say that the factional Ndigbo is correct in their assertion that the 2nd Niger Bridge was a scam.

My own point is not whether they represent the generality of Ndigbo or not. It is that their reason for saying Jonathan failed them is valid and correct.

Asaba — UNEMPLOYED graduates from Asaba, on Sunday, temporarily stopped work at the site of the second River Niger Bridge when they besieged the premises of Julius Berger Plc, the company handling the construction.

The unemployed graduates besieged the site of the work, demanding for slots in the employment of the company.

They said the law governing employment in Delta State indicated that companies must employ 50 per cent and 30 per cent of their unskilled and skilled workers respectively from their immediate environment...Click that link to read more

adeyemi2015:

You are far better than being partial with your post(s). Also, I believe you can do more to promote the ailing unity of the Country with your post(s). It's obvious that you are more concerned about your region than the Country at large since your defection to the PDP.
You can still be in PDP and keep making things right on Nairaland. Calling GMB #Babaonechance ,and never believe in him again, clearly reveals your hatred toward one Nigeria.
You and I know GMB is far better than GEJ, but sentiment has obscured your good sense of reasoning and judgment (deeply apologize if it offends).
Kindly start making post(s) that will educate and enlighten all Nairalanders; basically on the importance of One Nigeria, and it's benefits to all regions.
I implore you to believe in the incoming Government as you once fervently believed in the Candidacy of the General. You can detest APC as a Party but don't denounce GMB's competence, integrity and love for the Country.

barcanista:
Mind you I am first an Ijaw before being a Nigerian. It is not out of place for one to identify with his/her ethnic group's struggle and demand as long as such struggle is confined within the global laid down acceptable terms. The demand for restructuring did not start today neither is it tied to Jonathan/PDP. It is not out of place to demand for a referendum is ones demands aren't met. Scotland held theirs last year and decided to stay with the UK. Kosovo held theirs in 2008 and opted for independence. Spain had to allow Catalonians more autonomy in order to keep them together (though some still demand independence). Serbia had to allow Montenegrians referendum in 2006 when they made such demand. The list is endless. UK Conservative Party led by Cameron has made it clear that the UK will renegotiate their terms within the EU and will have a referendum whether or not to remain in the union. That doesn't mean Cameron hate EU or whatever.

The point is people should be together in unity and mutual benefit/understanding rather that a particular party feeling aggrived.

As for Buhari, he's the President-elect, I will always wish his administration well but it doesn't mean I am going to "fall in line". My position isn't out of place

Tolexander:


Common Man,

The link provided isn't about the legitimacy of any of the factions. But the Court Order for the suspension of any election to elect leaders for the group.

The sole reason for the Order is for Interim Injunction on the pending case of tenure duration of Chief Gary. The Court hasn't made its stand on the case.
