Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing debunks alleged separate burial committee for late Iwuanyanwu
The youth wing of Ohaneze Ndigbo has distanced itself from the burial planning committee for the late Ohaneze Ndigbo President General, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu,
allegedly put together by one Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu and his colleagues on behalf of the youth wing.
Ohaneze youths warned that it does not have a separate committee for the burial of the late Ohaneze Ndigbo President General.
A press release from the desk of the youth leader of the group, Damian Okafor stated that the youth wing before now had aligned itself with the national burial committee under the leadership of Senator Ben Obi, who carries the youth wing along as regards the burial process, insisting it does not have any other separate committee.
“Our rapt attention has been drawn to the illegal moves of Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu, Arthur Chinedu Ugwa, Ogbonna Wenesluss and others at large who ganged up to claim that they have formed a committee for Late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu’s burial under the auspices of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing.
”Ordinarily, we would have ignored them as usual but for the sake of public interest and the matters afoot, we would like to put the records straight,” he stated.
Okafor informed that the Youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide is not divided as he enjoined members of the public to disregard any information that is not coming from the recognized body under his leadership.
He further informed that the said Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu and his team are no longer members of the group claiming that they have been suspended due to what he described as their inglorious act of allegedly invading the National Secretariat of the youth wing destroying the symbol of Igbo unity and inflicting injuries on national executive council members.
The Youth leader noted that the burial of the late PG is beyond the dictate of the youth wing maintaining that the late PG is an international figure as such all the programmes of the youth Wing are now fused into the National Burial Program so that there will not be a clash of event at the end of the process.
“The security committee and family of the late PG should be vigilant as the ousted members have concluded plans to unsettle everyone at the Enugu office and Owerri respectively” he further stated.
Okafor used the opportunity to enjoin members of the public not to have anything to do with the group alleging that they may use the claim to extort money from people in the name of the organization.
