Bar. Uche Okwukwu Elected as First Ikwerre President of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide

In a historic moment, Chief Bar. Uche Okwukwu has been elected as the President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, becoming the first Ikwerre man to hold the esteemed position.

The election, held today, January 10, 2025, comes amidst controversy over a previous election conducted on January 5, 2025, by a factional body of Ohaneze Ndigbo, which announced Chief Dr. Jackson Omenazu, another Ikwerre man, as President. However, the majority of Ohaneze Ndigbo rejected the January 5 election, declaring today as the authentic date for electing the new leader of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization.

Bar. Uche Okwukwu’s emergence is seen not only as a significant milestone for the Ikwerre people but also as a step toward unifying Ndigbo worldwide. His leadership is expected to address lingering divisions, especially concerning the Ikwerre people, who ed as a separate ethnic group in Nigeria after the civil war, citing alleged maltreatment by the Igbo hinterland during that period.

Over the years, many Ikwerre people have agitated for reintegration of Ikwere to the Igbo nation, emphasizing their historical and cultural ties. With Bar. Uche Okwukwu at the helm of Ohaneze Ndigbo, this election is poised to play a pivotal role in fostering unity among Ndigbo globally, especially for those in the South-South region and the northern parts of Nigeria.

This development marks a turning point in the leadership history of Ohaneze Ndigbo, with high hopes that his tenure will strengthen the bonds among all Igbo-speaking communities and solidify their shared identity as one people.

Lazy journalists! Is this the first time Rivers man has been Ohaneze President?

Congratulations to him though.

I'm more interested in reactions from Ezenwo Wike, Amaechi and Odili.

These are Igbo men from Rivers state.

I want to see if they'll shun the Ikwerre man and say again that Ikwerre is not Igbo. Or if they will not say such. Or if they will congratulate him and foster unity.

I'm patiently waiting for their outburst

Ojiofor:

What is your source? Stop spreading fake news. Are you Nna Mehn TV?

When is the date for the election?

How Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide impact the lives of the Igbos is still a mystery.

Of what value?

😆😆😆

Still don't understand how some Ikwerres who bear Igbo names & speak Igbo as mother tongue, claim they are not Igbos. 🤔

Guess the Ikwerres are still denying their Igbo blood roots.

Pain goes to divide and rule gangs.

And yet, they will say "Rivers/Ikwèré people are NOT Igbo"..... Ndiàraaaaa..

The treacherous gang of baalablus will be seriously devastated by this news

They better warn that Isiguzoro APC mole that keeps releasing statements under the name of Ohanaeze.

Ikwerre says they're not Igbos, why give them the Ohaneze ndi Igbo president. This is an Error! of the highest order.
There're other Igbo speaking areas in Rivers state but Ikwerre no no no no

Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB we know.

You know him so well

I should have contested. I would have gotten unanimous votes

At least, I would have given the wo-MEN the courage to stop hiding under the bed every Monday in their wife's skirts

His mother is Igbo. His election doesn't affect full blooded Ikwerre people.


-Kiss the truth!

Wike is from Bini. We don’t know him. Odili was a Biafran soldier and full blooded Igbo man. Amaechi is Igbo when it suits him but we still welcome him as one of us.

Uche okwukwu, ,chai

He's a Sellout.

Oh please! Rotimi Amaechi has never said he wasn't Ibo. Infact, he has been at the front burner, declaring to the world how Ikwerre is Ibo.
