In response to recent misleading headlines circulating in various media outlets regarding Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s stance on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has issued a strong disclaimer to set the record straight.
The reports in question suggested that Ohanaeze Ndigbo, along with a Yoruba group, had made statements urging the EFCC to exercise caution in its actions concerning a court order related to alleged money laundering. However, Ohanaeze Ndigbo clarifies that these reports are inaccurate and misrepresentative of its official position.
Firstly, Ohanaeze Ndigbo categorically disassociates itself from any individual or group purporting to speak on its behalf without authorization. The name mentioned in the reports, Chimaobi Ezejiofor, is not recognized within the genuine structures of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and any statements attributed to such individuals are deemed fraudulent.
Furthermore, the supposed Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council mentioned in the reports is declared as unknown and unauthorized by the legitimate organs of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide. Such entities are condemned as fabrications designed for personal gain rather than genuine representations of Igbo interests.
The statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary emphasizes the organization’s commitment to upholding integrity and transparency in its communications. Ohanaeze Ndigbo reaffirms that its leadership, including Chief Engr. Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as President General and Ambassador Okey Emuchay as Secretary General, maintain a clear and focused agenda centered on promoting Igbo entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development.
It is clarified that Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s official channels do not engage in commentary or directives regarding law enforcement agencies such as the EFCC. The organization remains steadfast in its mission to harness Igbo potentials for economic growth, job creation, and overall prosperity within the Igbo community.
In conclusion, Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges the public to disregard misleading reports and emphasizes its unwavering commitment to serving the genuine interests of the Igbo people with integrity and honour.
