He said Ohanaeze Ndigbo needed a non partisan technocrat to steer its leadership stating that Obiozor possesses all the qualities needed to revive Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
According to him, “Ohanaeze is the authentic voice of the Igbos, which exists for the sole purpose of speaking for and representing the interest of Ndigbo since its inception in 1976. It is expected to be non partisan. We need a leadership that can rightly define and defend the interests of the Ndigbo.
“I have known Professor George Obiozor long time ago and I am confident he will competently lead an active, mature, hardworking and viable Ohanaeze Ndigbo organization. ” He said
