There seems to be a possible factionalisation of Ohanaeze Ndigbo as Senator John Azuta Mbata and and Bar. Uche Okwukwu have emerged as new Presidents of the body.

Didactic Information Hut reports that both Mbata and Okwukwu are from the Ikwerre ethnic nationality in Rivers State which has sparked a recent claim to be Igbos because of the slot to Rivers State to produce the new President of the Igbo Socio-cultural umbrella group.

The emergence of both Mbata and Okwukwu follows the Ohanaeze Ndigbo election which held today.

While the election which produced Senator Mbata took place in Enugu and had prominent Igbo Personalities in attendance, the details of the emergence of Barr Okwukwu is still sketchy as at press time. Barr Okwukwu is a former Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Before today's election, Chief Dr. Jackson Omenazu, another Ikwerre man, on January 5th in another factional election, had emerged as Ohanaeze Ndigbo President.

The takeover of the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo by the Ikwerre is a strategic move aimed at reintegrating the people who had registered as a separate ethnic group in Nigeria after the civil war, citing alleged maltreatment by the Igbo hinterland during that period.

Mbata who was elected via voice voting, have 15 others also elected to be part of his new executive.

Didactic Information Hut gathered that five governors of the South-East region, as well as leaders of thoughts, and other political stakeholders from the Igbo extraction were all present at the election in Enugu on Friday.

Some concerned Igbos had previously raised an alarm over possible factionalisation of Ohanaeze Ndigbo ahead of the January 10th election.

Meanwhile some observers of the politics which had influenced the Ohanaeze Ndigbo election allege that Senator Mbata is loyal to President Bola Tinubu and got massive consensus support and endorsement from loyalists of the President against Barr Okwukwu who is believed to be the leader of the radical faction of the Organization and loyal to former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.

Walahi na tradition. Ohaneze always have factional president

INEC wasn't involved in the election oo. How many are the Ohaneze executives that they can't conduct an election with no factional group?

The faction started when some Ohaneze led by Chibuike Amechi then Governor of Rivers state pledged loyalty to APC and Buhari while others supported PDP GEJ in 2015.

Descendants of the Chibuike Amechi team voted Uche Okwukwu while the GEJ supporters voted Mbata today.

There is no faction in Ohaneze indigo... The person who Ime Obi and governors elected is the president and elections only happens in Enugu

So senator Mbata is the president of the Igbo nation

I don't like him or the the fact that ikwerre got it but he is my president case closed

With open mind, I have never supported Ohaneze president position to go to any part of South South. It should have been restricted to only 5 SE states but what do I know

Reasonable number of the so called Igbo's in South South only remember being Igbo when something is at stake. It's a long time pattern

Firstly South South have been the strongest members of Ohaneze maybe you don't know your history

There are more than 15 ex executive from rivers and Delta Delta was president years ago.. Now uds rivers turn

But an etche man, ndoni, Asa, egebema or omuma over an ikwerre man but it's what it is

Fake news

Fake news

Hmmm

VERY GOOD, IT IS NOW, NO LONGER ONE IKWERRE MAN.

Dot-nationals and inordinate quest for power, if these guys become a nation, Syria & Sudan would have been a child's play to them.

Mbata is the man.

The fact is that there's two factions of Ohaneze, infact, it is three, with another one called Ohaneze Ndigbo worldwide. But the fact is that whoever emerges the President of Ndigbo, he can never be taken seriously because he can never declare Igbo day in Rivers State.

Congrats to both of them.
