Strong
indications emerged, yesterday, that all was not well with the foremost apex
Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as the body’s Council
of Elders, set up a seven-member electoral committee to organise a general
election of the body as soon as possible, claiming the leadership appeared not
to be in a hurry to hold election.
The elders
said the tenure of the present executive led by Chief Garry Enwo Igariwey,
would expire on January 7, 2015.
The
Council directed that the executive to be inaugurated in January 2015 should as
a matter of priority appoint a recognised firm of auditors to audit the
Accounts of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Chairman
of the Election Committee is Dr. Eze Agbogu(Anambra)
Other
members include: Chief Jumbo Offor (Abia), Chief (Mrs.) Ada Achor (Abia),
Prince Emeka Onyeso (Anambra), Chief (Mrs.) Roseline Njoku (Ebonyi) and Elder
Nweke Anyigor (Ebonyi)
Others
are; Prince Richard Ozobu (Enugu), Chief (Mrs.) Maria Okwo (Enugu), Pharm
Bright Ulokpu (Imo), Chief Ignatius Okameme (Imo), Chief I. A. Nwankwo (Anioma
Delta) and Onuchi Mpi (Rivers)
Reading a
communiqué after the meeting of the Council at Pan-Afric Hotels Enugu, elder
statesman and Chairman of the Council, Chief Mbazulike Amechi, said the action
became necessary following the refusal of the present executive to constitute
the electoral panel.
