Arising from a zoom meeting of respected and real Igbo leaders held yesterday, Igbo leaders described the purported election of Ohanaeze Ndigbo as a farce and unacceptable to Igbo Nation.
The group recommended that;
√ Efforts should be made to draw the attention of all key stakeholders on the need to step in and ensure that the elections are conducted in a way to unite rather than divide , permanently damage and embarrass the Igbo Nation.
√ That the running of Ohanaeze Ndigbo be handed over to the South East Region of Christian Association of Nigeria ( CAN) for two months period while efforts would be made for another election.
