Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has debunked a report making the rounds that the Chairman of its Council of Elders, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, referred to the Yorubas as political rascals.
In a statement issued by Ohanaeze‘s National Publicity Secretary, Dr Alex Ogbonnia, on Sunday, the group said the report was as a result of a misinterpretation of a statement made by Iwuanyanwu at an event on Saturday.
Ogbonnia said the purported news was the “typical falsehood fabricated by social media entrepreneurs, decorated with wings, expanded with venoms, injected with ethnic nuances and propelled to fly to various corners, fronts and heights in order to create inter-ethnic mistrust between the age-long partners in social, cultural, religious and economic development of Nigeria.
