Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday, denied reports that it had invited presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi; Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, as special guests to the 2022 Igbo Day celebrations.?
?In a declaration, the group’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Alex Ogbonnia, narrated this report as the height of deception, which should not be associated with it.?
?
The report, which Ohanaeze defined as the handiwork of mischief-makers, had stated that the three presidential candidates would be decorated with special titles and special prayers would be offered for them.?
?
Ohanaeze said: “The foregoing deceitful activities by few mischievous Igbo dissidents have been condemned by eminent Igbo stakeholders. The worst recurrence of such a report is the satanic enticement with which some loose academics are attracted to the impostors.?
?
“The Ohanaeze, led by Prof. George Obiozor, calls on the public to disregard the pretenders, who misrepresent the hallowed name Ohanaeze for narrow, selfish and stomach infrastructure.”?
