Breaking News:

Bar. Uche Okwukwu Elected as First Ikwerre President of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide

In a historic moment, Chief Bar. Uche Okwukwu has been elected as the President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, becoming the first Ikwerre man to hold the esteemed position.

The election, held today, January 10, 2025, comes amidst controversy over a previous election conducted on January 5, 2025, by a factional body of Ohaneze Ndigbo, which announced Chief Dr. Jackson Omenazu, another Ikwerre man, as President. However, the majority of Ohaneze Ndigbo members rejected the January 5 election, declaring today as the authentic date for electing the new leader of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization.

Bar. Uche Okwukwu’s emergence is seen not only as a significant milestone for the Ikwerre people but also as a step toward unifying Ndigbo worldwide. His leadership is expected to address lingering divisions, especially concerning the Ikwerre people, who registered as a separate ethnic group in Nigeria after the civil war, citing alleged maltreatment by the Igbo hinterland during that period.

Over the years, many Ikwerre people have agitated for reintegration of Ikwere to the Igbo nation, emphasizing their historical and cultural ties. With Bar. Uche Okwukwu at the helm of Ohaneze Ndigbo, this election is poised to play a pivotal role in fostering unity among Ndigbo globally, especially for those in the South-South region and the northern parts of Nigeria.

This development marks a turning point in the leadership history of Ohaneze Ndigbo, with high hopes that his tenure will strengthen the bonds among all Igbo-speaking communities and solidify their shared identity as one people.

I'm more interested in reactions from Ezenwo Wike, Amaechi and Odili.

These are Igbo men from Rivers state.

I want to see if they'll shun the Ikwerre man and say again that Ikwerre is not Igbo. Or if they will not say such. Or if they will congratulate him and foster unity.

I'm patiently waiting for their outburst

Wike is from Bini. We don’t know him. Odili was a Biafran soldier and full blooded Igbo man. Amaechi is Igbo when it suits him but we still welcome him as one of us.

Oh please! Rotimi Amaechi has never said he wasn't Ibo. Infact, he has been at the front burner, declaring to the world how Ikwerre is Ibo.
