By Dennis Agbo

ENUGU- Ohanaeze Ndigbo leader, Prince Richard Ozobu, said that the mandate of the current National Executive Council, NEC, of ​​Ohanaeze Ndigbo had expired in December 2018.

He therefore called for the dissolution of the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, led by Chief Nnia Nwodo, and the urgent convening of an electoral committee to proceed with the election of the new group of leaders d & # 39; Ohanaeze.

Ozobu said his appeal was based on the constitution of the sociocultural organization apolo Igbo, which he said stipulates that the mandate of the executive body of the group is two years.

He added that although there was a revised constitution of the group in 2008, the only important difference being the inclusion of a four-year extended term, the revised constitution was not signed and was never used.

He recalled that the issue had been raised under the previous administration of Chief Gary Igarawiey, but was not resolved by accepting a four-year term.

Ozobu, who was appointed chairman of the Discipline Committee by Ohanaeze 's dissident general secretary, Uche Okwukwu, also accused Nwodo of endorsing the candidacy of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar without downstream. going through the general meeting of Ohanaeze.

Nnia Nwodo, president-general of the Igbo parent group, however, indicated that Ohanaeze's term was four years, noting that the Atiku endorsement had been approved by CEN and that 20 members had voted in favor of the decision, while only one person was not in agreement.

In an interview with reporters yesterday, Ozobu said, "The constitution of Ohanaeze Ndigbo provides for two years that pbaded in December of last year. Imeobi's decision is final only when the General Assembly has approved it by a two-thirds majority.

"The last Ohanaeze administration had to go to Imo State where Ralph Obioha and Governor Rochas Okoraocha, among others, told them it was two years. The reason we have a constitution is to make the union predictable.

"Nwodo should have waited for this approval to pbad through the general badembly convened the next day of imeobi. The general badembly is usually attended by delegates from about 300 people from the seven Igbo-speaking states that make up Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

"In the cradle of Ohanaeze, when Professor Ben Nwabueze and Judge Eze Ozobu were in charge, Mr. Ohanaeze never approved of a candidate because it is an umbrella organization. . The decisions of Imeobi are only proposals. I did not know that Nwodo was still in office until these developments. "
