A right activist and former member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon Tony Ezekwelu has faulted the Vice President of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo over his position on the nomination of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as the next president general of the Igbo apex sociocultural organization.
Okeke-Ogene who is the acting President General of the Igbo apex cultural organisation, had said it was the prerogative right of Imo State to nominate the replacement of the late Prof George Obiozor as the president general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, subject to the ratification by the Imobi( Ohanaezein caucus)
He said there was nothing wrong in Imo doing so, stating that it was within the constitutional provisions of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
But in an exclusive chat with our correspondent, Ezekwelu said the reaction of Chief Okeke Ogene was wrong and misleading.
According to him, Imo State has no right to select President General for Ndigbo although they have the right to support any candidate of their choice but the election of the President General must be by the delegates from all 7 Igbo states in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Assembly not just by Imo State alone.
