I Am Ohanaeze President-general — Uche Okwukwu by zero8zero(m): 7:40pm On Jan 11
Uche Okwukwu, a former Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has insisted that he was duly elected as the new President-General of the apex Igbo socio- cultural organisation.

There was confusion in the media on Friday following the emergence of two Presidents-General of the group.

It was reported that, Okwukwu, from Rivers State, was elected as new Ohanaeze President-General in Port Harcourt by a faction of the organization.

DAILY POST also reported that the pan-Igbo group elected Senator John Azuta-Mbata as its new President-General in an election that took place in Enugu.

Speaking on Arise TV on Saturday, Okwukwu, who has the backing of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, faulted Azuta-Mbata’s election.

According to him, the election in Enugu was not in line with Ohanaeze’s tradition. He insisted that only the Port Harcourt election that produced him followed due process.

He said, “In 2017, Ohanaeze’s elections were held in Enugu because the President-General was coming from Enugu so the election was held there.

“In 2021, it was the turn of Imo State to produce the President-General and the election was held in Imo State.

“In 2025, it was the turn of Rivers State to produce the President-General and the election was held in Port Harcourt. The election was concluded in the wee hours of 10th of January 2025.

“I, Uche Okwukwu, former Secretary-General Ohanaeze Worldwide, emerged victorious in that election. I don’t know about any election held in Enugu State Government House.

“It is not in line with our tradition. You don’t hold election in Government House because you don’t expect delegates to come into a caged place. Elections are held in places where people can access.”

He's making sense. The election in Enugu Government house was a sham. Heard he is Ipob's anointed candidate too.

To be Ohaneze president or candidate you Must be nominated by your State governor
And accepted by Ime Obi council

Oga show us your nomination

Secondly the immediate past president appointed electoral committee and election's held in local government, state before the final one in Enugu

So oga who conducted your elections


Thirdly oga list the delegates that elected you sir

I don't like Sen Mbata but he is my president for the next 5 years I wish him wisdom and courage to unite the Igbo nation

Very apt. The Uche of a man should kindly congratulate his brother, after all both of them are Ikwere Igbos.

I wonder why Yorubas have been running from pillar to post since the announcement.

Who is afraid of the Igbo Unity?

I feel for them honestly, having an online troll as a dad.

That was a joke.

Let's, be seriouse Yarimo, why do you hate Obi and Obidients so much?
Did you have a personal encounter with any of them in real life? It had been a consistent hatred and I am just curious to know?

Something tells me you are a different person in real life just trolling for fun on the net.

God punish IPOB.
It is very crucial that Igbo leaders continue to strongly stay away from anything that has to do with IPOB terrorists.
IPOB hated Ohaneze and has committed terrorism against Igbo. The only thing IPOB deserves is destruction.
Senator Azuta Mbata is our legitimate leader. Uche Okwukwu was not elected by Imeobi members. Ohaneze constitution didn't specify in which state elections will be held. If Uche Okwukwu was backed by terrorists IPOB-ESN, he has no place in Ohaneze.

Seun, are you comfortable with how almost every thread on this forum is somehow messed up by trolls? Are you okay with this?

With great power comes great responsibility. Would you consider yourself a responsible person with respect to have you've handled this forum?
