…. declares interest for Secretary General’s position

A frontline activist and Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress, Rev Obinna Akukwe, has called for the postponement of the Ohanaeze election scheduled for Friday, January 10, at the national headquarter of the organisation, No 7 Park Avenue, Enugu.

 

Rev. Akukwe advocated that the postponement will enable a peace truce to be reached among the four aspirants for the post of President General namely; Chief Mike Okiro, Dim Uche Okwukwu, Chief Jackson Omenazu, Chief Fyneface Amaechi to avoid what he described as ‘cataclysmic implosion’.

He welcomed the zoning of the next President General position to Rivers state, stating that it is line with the Ohanaeze Ndigbo constitution. He, however, cautioned against monetization of the election.

 

He called for non-adoption of Option A4 strategy for the election, even as he raised fears that the use of Option A4 will lead to hijack of the election by those he referred as foreign merchants whom he alleged will sell the positions to the highest bidders.
