A credible source at the election ground of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Enugu has disclosed to our Reporter that, contrary to our earlier report that Uche Okwukwu has been declared Ohanaeze President General , we have gathered from reliable sources that Uche Okwukwu was suspended by Imeobi in Enugu and the election is still ongoing with Senator Mbata standing unopposed.
It was gathered that Okwukwu emerged from a factional election in Port Harcourt, where he was returned unopposed.
While another election is holding in Enugu, Okwukwu’s faction held his in Port Harcourt.
According to information available, while some Igbos from Rivers had stepped out to contest, one, in the person of Uche Okwukwu was suspended by Ime Obi and cannot run for the office.
Former IGP of Police Chief Mike Okiro Obama also stepped down yesterday following a court order barring him from the contest.
The other candidates include Senator John Azuta Mbata and others.
