Ohanaeze Election: ADF warns against imposition of former Police IG, Mike Okiro as President General

Ahead of the forthcoming national elections of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo, frontline Igbo think tank, Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF), has warned against the imposition of former Inspector General of Police, Mike Mbama Okiro as the President General of the organisation.

The Foundation also made a fresh appeal for the unconditional release of the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from prolonged detention.

These were contained in a press release made available to DAILY POST on Saturday by the National President of ADF and former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Ukachukwu Awuzie, which was circulated to journalists electronically on Friday.

The press release titled, “ADF position on Ohanaeze Presidency and other National Matters,” recalled that Imo State has been on the saddle as the PG, but unfortunately, two of its sons who served within the period, Ambassador George Obiozor and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, died in active service, prompting the election of Nze Ozichukwu to complete the tenure of Imo State, which ends on January 10, 2025.

“Accordingly, the Ohaneze Constitution prescribes that the PG position should rotate among the Igbo speaking states in Nigeria, and given that the five South East States, namely Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo had taken their turns, so also Delta State in the South South, the natural course of action for all is to support Rivers State to produce the next PG,” the group said.

The ADF unequivocally supported Ndi Igbo in Rivers State to produce the next President General (PG) of the organisation
