Ohanaeze Ndigbo chairman Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro has criticized Mr. Peter Obi, presidential candidate for the Labour Party, for his stance in the turmoil engulfing the leading Igbo socio-cultural group.
The appearance of Obi during what he dubbed the “illegal presentation of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as the new President of Ohanaeze” was, in the words of Isiguzoro, the Secretary-General of the Chidi Ibeh-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo, was a blatant display of hypocrisy.
He gave Newsmen access to a statement he had on this subject on Thursday morning.

He claimed he did not understand how Obi, who is in court seeking to retrieve his mandate due to alleged irregularities in the 2023 presidential election, could have supported unlawful activity during the Ohanaeze crisis.
“For Peter Obi to show up during the purported appointment of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as Ohanaeze President-General smacks of deceit.
“Ohanaeze Constitution is clear on how a President-General should be replaced; however, none of the procedures was followed by the Obiozor faction; what we saw is the word appointment, which does not exist in the lexicon of Ohanaeze.
“Even if we ignore others who were present during that charade, that cannot be said of Obi who claims to be against any form of illegality in choosing leaders.
“But contrarily, he was conspicuously present during the Enugu event where the Ohanaeze constitution was turned upside down.

“This has exposed Peter Obi as a man who is only after his personal interest and not that of Ndigbo.
“He supports injustice and illegality when it suits his ego and interest but shouts blue murder when he feels even the best of the system will not serve his ambition.”
Isiguzoro vowed that his gang wouldn’t let those serving their paymasters divert them from their mission.
Iwuanyanwu was chosen to succeed Prof. George Obiozor, who passed away after a battle with illness.
At the ceremony in Enugu where Iwuanyanwu was appointed, Peter Obi was present.
