Rivers chapter of Ohanaeze pushes for President-General
The Rivers State chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo under the organization of Ogbakor Ndi-Igbo Na Rivers, has formally expressed its intention to produce the next President-General of the group following the death of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.
The chapter’s demand is based on the rotational leadership structure outlined in Article 11 of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Constitution, which mandates that leadership positions be rotated among the seven member states.
In a communiqué released after a stakeholders’ meeting held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Capital on Sunday, the group reaffirmed Rivers State’s rightful place in Ohanaeze Ndigbo and emphasized its long-standing support for other states in producing national officers.
The statement was signed by Livingstone Wechie, Convener of Ogbakor Ndi-Igbo Na Rivers, and Barrister Anthony Okolo, National Coordinator of Anyi-Anyi, a pan-Igbo advocacy group.
“The statement read, “We strongly believe that adherence to the Constitution is the key to ensuring a peaceful, prosperous, and united Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“We urge all stakeholders to support this principle. May God guide us all.”
The push for a Rivers State candidate comes in the wake of the passing of Chief Iwuanyanwu, the 11th President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, which has created a leadership gap.
The Rivers State chapter contends that having a candidate from the state would provide continuity and inclusivity for the organization moving forward.
Wechie also noted that Rivers State has made significant contributions to Ohanaeze Ndigbo, having held crucial positions such as Deputy Secretary-General, National Financial Secretary, Secretary-General, and Deputy President-General.
He highlighted those contributions as evidence of Rivers State’s experience and commitment to the organization’s goals.
“Rivers State has proven its dedication to the growth of Ohanaeze, and we believe it is time for us to lead,” Wechie added.
