The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, says the reports claiming it would participate fully in the inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023, are false.
Posturing as one who spoke for the organisation, Okechukwu Isiguzoro had last week said that Ohanaeze would participate fully in the event.
But in a statement issued on Tuesday in Enugu, the National Publicity Secretary of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Alex Chiedozie Ogbonnia, said, “The Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo is Ambassador Okey Emuchay. The said Okechukwu Isiguzoro is a meddlesome interloper who uses the hallowed name of Ohanaeze Ndigbo for narrow interests.”

Ogbonnia added: “We have at various times informed the unsuspecting public to ignore the mischief makers as impostors, charlatans and media navigators who leech on the invaluable footprints of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to issue press releases for narrow, perverse and illicit pecuniary interests.
“However, since silence may be misconstrued as giving validity to such a whimsical figment of a transactional imagination, this rebuttal becomes very imperative”.
