President General Ohanaeze Igbo Women Organization Worldwide,Chief Calista Nkiru Adimachukwu, berates Its General Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Uche Okwukwu, were he claimed that the Women Wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Youth Wing were dissolved by the ImeObi. According to the group, this is the second time such statement has been published in national dailies by the cronies of Chief Nnia Nwodo. “We stated on Sunday Sun Newspaper of January 28, 2018 and on Vanguard Newspaper of January 31, 2018, what transpired between the Women Wing and main body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo. “We stated in those newspapers that the women wing was no longer part and parcel of Ohanaeze Ndigbo main body, and we wrote a letter to that effect to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo after our Ime-Ofe meeting at Nnewi Hotels on the 3rd of June 2017, months prior to their Ime-Obi meeting, and which Chief Nnia Nwodo never contested at any court. According to them, the group state categorically that the Women Wing pulled out because of the high-handedness, intimidation and marginalization of the Women Wing and also due to how Chief Nnia Nwodo operates Ohanaeze Ndigbo as his private business. “If we are pushed further by the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, we would have no other choice than to publish copies of the resolution and the letter written to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo which would reveal how Chief Nnia Nwodo operates the organization.
“We also wish to further state that the Women Wing was never hired nor appointed, but elected with the mandate of Igbo women. “We were never dissolved before we emerged legally under the banner name of Ohanaeze Igbo Women Organization Worldwide. “Uche Okwukwu’s statement as the General Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo that the Women Wing was dissolved, and that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo is planning to sell forms for fresh elections, will show the entire public a glimpse of the wicked and mischevious intent of Chief Nnia Nwodo’s led Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“We therefore wish to once again warn Chief Nnia Nwodo’s led Ohanaeze Ndigbo to stop misleading the general public and the government with lies and deceit, and wake up to the reality that he has failed as a leader. “He should mind the state he feeds to the general public and the government to avoid committing further blunders that would cause embarrassment to Ndigbo,” they said.
