Ohanaeze refutes claims by Oba Akandi

The apex Igbo Socio-Cultural Organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has described as untrue the statement credited to Oluwo of Iwo, Abdulrosheed Akanbi, that the Igbo cannot be trusted with the office of the Nigerian presidency.

Reacting to the allegations on Tuesday, Ohanaeze President General, George Obiozor, noted that Oba Akanbi’s attack on the Igbo was not based on any verifiable evidence but on self-serving interests.

Obiozor advised Oba Akanbi to open-minded towards all, especially people of other ethnic groups.
