The apex Igbo social-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has justified the emergence of elder statesman, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu to succeed Professor George Obizor as president general of the Igbo body.
The spokesman of Ohanaeze, Dr. Alex Ogbonnia explained that the body’s leadership applied the doctrine of necessity in selecting Iwuanyanwu.
He further disclosed that Iwuanyanwu will be presented to the highest decision making organ of Ohanaeze, Imeobi next Sunday.
Ogbonnia, who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with our correspondent in Enugu, urged those criticising the emergence of the elder statesman to allow peace to reign in Igboland.
