Factional Crisis Rocks Ohaneze Ndígbo Leadership Election
The leadership of Ohaneze Ndígbo has once again been plunged into controversy following a disputed presidential election held on Sunday, January 5, 2025. The election saw Jackson Omenazu emerge as the President General, but his victory has not been universally accepted within the organization.
Some factions within Ohaneze Ndígbo have outrightly rejected the outcome of the January 5 election, maintaining that the official presidential election is scheduled to take place on January 10, 2025. These dissenting groups argue that the earlier election lacks legitimacy and fails to represent the consensus of the entire Ohaneze body.
As the situation unfolds, the division raises concerns about the unity and future direction of Ohaneze Ndígbo, which serves as the apex socio-cultural organization representing the Igbo people. Observers are closely monitoring the unfolding developments, with hopes for a resolution that will ensure the organization’s cohesion and integrity.
Efforts to mediate between the factions are expected to intensify in the coming days, as stakeholders work to address the leadership crisis.
