The group maintained that it is a right to the Southeast zone, not a privilege to get the presidency in 2023.
Anambra State President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Damian Okeke Ogene, stated this on Tuesday in Awka, Anambra State, while briefing reporters after the group’s meeting
He said the leadership of Ohanaeze has not mandated anyone or group to pursue actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra but Presidency of Igbo extraction.
He said that some youths within the territory that make up the defunct Biafra Republic were restive and had made case for Biafra’s restoration because of the gross marginalisation of the zone.
According to Okeke-Ogene, the executive of Ohanaeze led by Nnia Nwodo has the mandate of Ndigbo to negotiate the Igbo position in Nigeria.
He noted that Igbo children groups like IPOB are agitating for Biafra because Ndigbo are being marginalized and vowed that Ndigbo would not relent until 2023 presidency is achieved.
