The Youth Wing of the apex Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide has accused Igboayaka O Igboanyaka, President of Ohaneze Youth Council (OYC) and the Secretary- General, Ifeanyi Nweke, of leadership impersonation.
Addressing journalists during a press conference held in Owerri on Monday the Secretary-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing Worldwide (ONYWW), Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu, warned Igboanyaka’s group to desist from impersonating the leadership of ONYWW using the name OYC to disparage Governor Hope Uzodimma and other Igbo leaders.
“We have successfully tabled a case of impersonation against Igboayaka .O. Igboayaka and Ifeanyi Nweke, who before now have been falsely parading themselves as national President and Secretary General of Ohaneze Youth Council, respectively”.
“We are here in Owerri primarily to inform the Police and other security Agencies in Imo State of the activities of these impostors who have been involved in criminal impersonation and to also dissociate ourselves from their unfounded publications in the last couple of months”
“We want to categorically state, that there is nothing like Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC) rather we are the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing Worldwide (ONYWW). We were duly elected on 5th of August 2021, under the supervision of the National Executive Committee NEC of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, under the then leadership of our revered late President General, Prof George Obiozor and Amb. Okey Emuchay as Secretary General”
“Therefore, Mr. Igboayaka and Co Publications do not represent the position(s) of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing. Be that as it maybe, as a responsible and law abiding organization, we took this course to preserve our sanctity and integrity which the duo had attempted to compromise. On this note, we formally call on the appropriate Security Agencies to professionally do the needful”.
ONYWW strongly condemned the extra judicial execution of unarmed Igbo youths in various parts of Igbo land especially in Oguta LGA of Imo State, disclosing that it has swung into action with a view to finding lasting peace, stability and security in Igbo land and the country in general.
The group reaffirmed support to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, government at all levels and the security agencies towards ensuring peace and security of Nigeria, especially in South East.
