Iwuanyanwu: Ohanaeze’s new leader faces huge odds

On Sunday, April 30, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, elder statesman and celebrated entrepreneur, assumed office as the new president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, after the Imeobi Ohanaeze ratified his nomination.

The government of Imo State had nominated him to replace the former president-general, Prof. George Obiozor, who died in December 2022 after a brief illness. At the Imeobi meeting held at the old Government House Lodge, Enugu, Iwuanyanwu was presented and ratified as the new leader of Ohanaeze, the umbrella body of all the Igbo in Nigeria and the diaspora.
