In what seems like crisis brewing up from the youth wing of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the apex socio-cultural organisation of the Ndigbo, has rejected the emergence of Linus Obasi as the new leader of it youth wing.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide National Publicity Secretary, Alex Ogbonnia, made this known on Monday in Owerri, the Imo capital.
He explained that though Damian Okafor was suspended by the National Executive Council (NEC), the body was working to settle the issues.
Ogbonnia noted that the purported bye-election conducted to replace Okafor was null and void.
“The said election lacks credibility and was neither approved nor supervised by us.
“The NEC is not aware of any by-election to replace Okafor. We refuse to recognise Obasi”, NAN quoted him saying.
The apex socio-cultural organisation of the Igbo people is led by President-General, Prof. George Obiozor.
