Election was conducted on Sunday in owerri, imo-state capital to choose the next president of ohaneze Ndi-igbo where obiozo defeated two other candidate to emerge as the next leader of the social-cultural group.
obiozo was the Nigerian ambassador to the United States, from 2004 to 2008.
“The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldide has been drawn to a spurious, mendacious and malicious news item making the rounds that a candidate has been chosen to occupy the post of the President-General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, which by rotation, is now the turn of Imo State,” he had said in a statememnt.
“The said vexatious piece would have been ignored for the chaff it is but for the fact that it impinges on the solid and time-tested tradition of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in choosing its leadership and the integrity of its present President-General, Chief John Nnia Nwodo.
“The truth of the matter is that posts in Ohanaeze Ndigbo are rotational and positions zoned to states. It is the responsibility of states to choose their candidates which they may prune down for their convenience.”
