Isiguzoro Is Our Man

?Stakeholders in Abia State have expressed support for the ambition of Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro to contest for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth President.

?The different positions in the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing(italics ours) have been zoned to the seven member-states of the body, namely: Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Rivers and Delta states.

?The position of Chairman was zoned to Abia State, while the Deputy National Chairman and Secretary were zoned to Anambra and Enugu states respectively.

?Speaking on behalf of stakeholders, the outgoing Acting National Chairman of the body, Chuks Ibegbu, warned aspirants who have nothing to contribute to the wellbeing of Ndigbo to stay clear of the election (See Daily Independent, http://dailyindependentnig.com).

While we are yet to hear from Ohanaeze Ndigbo, looks from the above, the only public announcement we heard about Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing election that; of course, held last two Saturdays portends that there was no Ohanaeze Youth Council election but Ohanaeze Ndigbo parent body?s youth wing election with Okechukwu Isiguzoro participating as anticipated and emerged as new President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing. How then did even Media join him in his elusive claims of mistaking Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing as being same as Ohanaeze Youth Council? Assuming without conceding that Ohanaeze Ndigbo through Dr. Joe Nwaorgu approved this Okechukwu Isiguzoro/Chuks Ibegbu led charade, did Ohanaeze Ndigbo acted in good faith and lawfully? The answer is no! Both Ohanaeze Youth Council and Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing are not and never one despite the time long efforts of some jobless Igbo youths who mills around Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Secretariat both for political jobbery and errands.

What did the Constitution of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo say about youth fold under her umbrella? It has nothing doing with Ohanaeze Youth Council but a youth wing. It is on noteworthy to quote from the Constitution of Oha Na-Eze Ndi Igbo to clear the fogs: “Ohanaeze shall have wings made up of popular organs – Women, Youth, Transporters, Traders and any other wings as may be deemed necessary by Ime Obi (See Article 23, WINGS (POPULAR ORGANS), Section i.)?.

How then, come Okechukwu Isiguzoro and his claims of Ohanaeze Youth Council Presidency on becoming Ohanaeze Youth Wing Chairman; after his long time impersonating both office of the Organising Secretary, PRO and President of Ohanaeze Youth Council at different occasions? No doubt, it is nothing but power hungry, political illusions and sheer brigades that will see the likes of Okechukwu Isiguzoro doing so! Until his emergence as Ohanaeze Youth Wing Chairman, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, like his colleague Chuks Ibegbu has been using the duo of OYC and OYW as being one doing their political jobbery and errands. Notwithstanding the crafty activities of Isiguzoro, Nigeria press are even more confused by the antics of his not knowing how to address him. From above two referred reporting of Okechukwu Isiguzoro by Daily Independent, through his main coverer, Emmanuel Nzomiwu it is obvious that he firstly reported him as vying for Ohanaeze Youth WingPresident; and on Thursday after his emergence on April 5th 2014, he reported him as Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Youth Council and Ohanaeze Youth Council president in one report (See http://dailyindependentnig.comDaily Independent of April 10th 2014).

Meanwhile? Punch Newspaperin a report ?FASHOLA SHOULD APOLOGISE OR WE WILL AMBUSH APC IN 2015 reported Isiguzoro as National Organizing Secretary, Ohanaeze Youth Wing (See Ozioma Ubabukoh, Punch August 10th 2013 online).? Quite interesting, Isiguzoro in a report ?Ohanaeze Youth Council Tasks FG on 2nd Niger Bridge? filed by Dennis Agbo of National Mirror dated February 20, 2013 went ahead in his culture of impersonation presented self as President of Ohanaeze Youth Council (see National Mirror online).? The list is endless!

For Emmanuel Nzomiwu of Daily Independent, who seem to have recalled that it was not Ohanaeze Youth Council election that took place at Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Secretariat Enugu but Youth wing as he earlier-on advertised, he addressed Isiguzoro in one of his informal impersonation post of Organising Secretary, Ohanaeze Youth Council while reporting him in his post-Ohanaeze Youth Wing Elect Chairmanship. He reported:
