Ohanaeze Ndigbo denounces illegal Constitutional amendments

PoliticsNext Level, Nigeria, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Politics

A top Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has warned against illegally amending its constitution. The group warns that these illegal alterations are intended to prevent a Rivers State President General from being elected in January 2025, the 2027 elections, and the continuance of some deviant members. These unconstitutional revisions to Ohanaeze Ndigbo's constitution violate Article 11(a), which requires the President General to rotate among the seven Igbo-speaking states. Rivers State is entitled to take over by January 11, 2025, after six other states have done so. These unlawful revisions and the Rivers State coup violate Ohanaeze Ndigbo's Articles 29 and…

I'm beginning to believe that we suffer from gross selective amnesia as a nation. I have read befuddling wistfulness manifest in many commentaries about possible free, fair, and credible polls in Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo. And I wonder who did it. Are you not aware that the morning tells largely what the day will be like? With the electoral larceny of February and March 2023 and the attendant judicial summersaults, tell me who believes in the sanctity and sanity of the electoral process anymore? Who will wait for a sullied, stained, tainted, and corrupt umpire—in this case, Mahmood Yakubu's INEC—to…
