According to the group, Kanu’s purported suspension has generated tension and apprehension among Igbo communities both at home and in the diaspora, necessitating what it described as a "clear and authoritative clarification."
The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has dismissed reports suggesting that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been suspended from his leadership position, insisting that such claims are invalid and lack communal legitimacy.
In a statement issued on Friday and signed by its Deputy President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and the Deputy Secretary-General, Prof. Chibuikeya Achoakawa, Ohanaeze said the alleged suspension of Kanu is misleading.
According to the group, Kanu’s purported suspension has generated tension and apprehension among Igbo communities both at home and in the diaspora, necessitating what it described as a "clear and authoritative clarification."
Ohanaeze stated that after consultations carried out within its constitutional mandate as an impartial cultural institution, it arrived at the position that the purported suspension of Kanu was neither recognised nor validated.
