‘Strong character’ — Atiku congratulates Iwuanyanwu on selection as Ohanaeze Ndigbo president-general
Atiku Abubakar, former vice president, has congratulated Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu on his emergence as the president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Iwuanyanwu was “selected” as the president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, after the death of George Obiozor, the former president-general who died in December 2022.
In a statement on Saturday, Atiku described Iwuanyanwu as a “worthy Nigerian leader who belongs to the first class grade of contemporary Nigerian statesmen.”
Atiku asked Iwuanyanwu to use his office to strengthen national integration and Igbo unity.
“I expressed the optimism that Iwuanyanwu will make the desired impact, taking into consideration his political grit and sagacity, which aura and influence reverberates across the length and breadth of Nigeria,” Atiku said.
“Iwuanyanwu’s strong character and beautiful heart will combine to produce a successful tenure and transformational leadership in Igbo land. I wish him well as he serves and leads his people to new heights.”
