Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, which is the apex body of all Igbo sociocultural organizations all over the world is undergoing serious trial at the moment.

There are growing fears that if the current challenge of defining its exact leadership is not properly handled, it might lead to the establishment of splinter groups. By implication ridiculing the image of the Igbo nation before other major tribes in Nigeria,Africa and the world all over.

This stems from the fact that three distinguished personalities are currently claiming to be the President General of the apex body of all Igbo organizations.

The personalities are Senator John Azuta Mbata, whose executive is presently the occupants of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo National secretariat,located at No 7 park avenue, GRA,bEnugu.
Senator Mbata-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo moved into the national secretariat aftermath of the January 10,2025  General Election during which he was elected unopposed.

The second faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership is led by Barr.Uchenna Okwukwu as its President General. The group claims they were elected at a national convention of the organization held at Port Harcourt,the Rivers state capital and that it was massively attended by delegates from several Igbo communities.

The third faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide is led by Dr Jackson Omenazu as it’s President General. Dr Omenazu said his group doesn’t need to occupy the National secretariat at Enugu before it can operate, that  they prefer to rotate their meetings from state to state so as to have grass root grip of events as they manifest in every part of Igbo land.
