Ignore Nnamdi Kanu - Igbo Group In South Africa Urges Anambra People by megafem1: 8:09am On Jul 02, 2017 |
- The Ohaneze Ndigbo in South Africa has
cautioned Nnmadi Kanu over his recent
outburst that election will not hold in
Anambra
- The founder of the group in South Africa
said Kanu should be ignored
- He insisted that Anambra people have
the right to elect their leaders
Chief Jonas Udeji, the founder of Ohaneze
Ndigbo, a socio-cultural group in South
Africa, says the stance of its national body
not to boycott the Anambra governorship
election is in order.
Nnamdi Kanu, the self proclaimed leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), had
called for the boycott of the Nov. 18 election
in Anambra.

But the National President of Ohaneze, John
Nwodo, had addressed legislators in
Anambra and told them to ignore the
directive.
The founder of the group in South Africa
said Kanu should be ignored
Udeji said in Johannesburg, South Africa, on
Saturday that Kanu was not qualified to give
such a directive on behalf of Igbos.
“ Ohaneze Ndigbo remains the apex body
of Igbos in Nigeria and world-wide.
“ No single individual will give any order on
behalf of Igbos if that person is not the
elected President of Ohaneze.
“ We understand Nnamdi Kanu`s emotions
about the plight of Igbos in Nigeria. But, he
should realise that we have a leader and
that is Nwodo.
“ He is the one to speak on behalf of Igbos,”
he said.
Udeji urged Anambra people and other
South East states to ignore such directive
from IPOB and elect their leaders when the
opportunity comes.
According to him, Igbos should collectively
decide on such sensitive issues under the
leadership of Ohaneze, their apex body, and
not based on an individual’s directive.
He said that Anambra people had the right
to elect their governor and other
representatives at the local government,
state and national levels.
Udeji said that Ohaneze under Nwodo`s
leadership had been focused and remained
determined to achieve set goals and
objectives. |
