Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has denied endorsing the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
In a statement signed by its DG, Strategic Planning and Implementations, Tony Obizoba and made available to Newsbreak Nigeria, the group also denied endorsing any presidential candidate.
“Our attention has been drawn to a report in circulation suggesting that the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has endorsed the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP), Dr. Peter Obi, as preferred candidate of the Igbo people of Nigeria.
“As the established umbrella body recognised by law to speak for the Igbo ethnic group in the country, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo General Assembly Worldwide, hereby states that – as far as the authenticity of Igbo voice is concerned – no one among the presidential contestants has been endorsed by it,” the statement read in part.
