The President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo has shut down reports circulating that he had dissolved its chapter in the United Kingdom (UK).
His comments are coming after reports in some sections of the media on Sunday which claimed that Ohanaeze Ndigbo chapters in the UK and Ghana had been dissolved.
However, Chief Nnia has said in an SMS that the rumors were untrue and only a source of mischief.
His words in the text, “I did not dissolve Ohanaeze Executive in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. There is neither a need nor request to do so.
“The reporter was mischievous! Please disregard the false representation.”
Dr. Nnanna Igwe, President, Ohanaeze Ndigbo UK, and Northern Ireland also had this to say, “We are with other chapters of Ohanaeze worldwide, and they look up to us for direction and we collaborate with the President-General, Chief Nnia Nwodo.
“There is no problem in Ohanaeze in UK, the only thing that exist here is that there are other Igbo organisations just like in any other place, and everyone is trying to say something.
“But as an orgnaisation, there is no problem with Ohanaeze, even yesterday, I was in Manchester and Newcastle, to celebrate new yam festival with sister organisations; so, there is no problem at all.”
“We are holding town hall meetings with different groups on Igbo Unity and Progress.
“We are mobilising and uniting our people and sensitizing them to think home to unite and solve our common problems, especially the security challenges in the country and herdsmen-farmers crisis.
“We have also made it clear that we don’t want RUGA in South-East and we are urging the government to ensure the killers of the Rev. Fr. Paul Offu are brought to justice.”
