Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday, denied reports that it had invited presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi; Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, as special guests to the 2022 Igbo Day celebrations.
In a declaration, the group’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Alex Ogbonnia, narrated this report as the height of deception, which should not be associated with it.
The report, which Ohanaeze defined as the handiwork of mischief-makers, had stated that the three presidential candidates would be decorated with special titles and special prayers would be offered for them.
Ohanaeze said: “The foregoing deceitful activities by few mischievous Igbo dissidents have been condemned by eminent Igbo stakeholders. The worst recurrence of such a report is the satanic enticement with which some loose academics are attracted to the impostors.?
“The Ohanaeze, led by Prof. George Obiozor, calls on the public to disregard the pretenders, who misrepresent the hallowed name Ohanaeze for narrow, selfish and stomach infrastructure.”?
