The shameless sale of Igbo presidency and Igbo interests by Ohaneze
to the highest bidder has attracted the frank opprobrium of Senator
Uche Chukwuerije. In a submission he sent to the Igbo Elders, South East
Governors, and members of the 11 man committee set-up by the South East
Governors on 27th January towards resolving the Ohaneze
crisis, Chukwumerije warned that as 2015 approaches, there will be more
massive attempts to bribe the body .
A copy of his submission was given to Rev Obinna Akukwe the
Director of Media of General Assembly of all Igbo Christian
Organizations and Ministers (GAAICOM), and one of the initiations of the
exclusive two year tenure extension granted to the late President of
the body, Ambassador Raph Uwechue, the misuse of which has brought
crisis to the body. This document, meant for the South East Governors,
Elders and Clergy was made public in April 2013 by the authority of Igbo
Bishops and Pastors under the aegis of GAAICOM and exclusive permission
of Senator Chukwumerije. The Senator was also advised to also make it a
public document for posterity purposes, which he later did.
