Secretary General of Chidi Ibeh led faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, yesterday, said the apex group will resist any attempt by some individuals to amend the constitution of Ohanaeze Ndigbo illegally, adding that Ohanaeze Ndigbo has issued a strong warning against the illegal act.

In statement in Abakaliki, Isiguzoro said unlawful amendments are aimed at scuttling the emergence of a President General from Rivers State in the January 2025, the 2027 elections and extending the tenure of some deviant elements within the organization, adding that process of amendment is very clear as enshrined in the constitution.

He said: “The processes to initiate these illegal amendments to Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s constitution are in direct violation of Article 11(a) of the constitution, which stipulates the rotational office of the President General among the seven Igbo-speaking states.

“Officially, six other states have already taken their turn, and it is Rivers State’s rightful turn to assume the role by January 11, 2025. The proponents behind these unconstitutional amendments and the coup against Rivers State are also contradicting Articles 29 and 30 of Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s Constitution”.
