Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu
Ohanaeze President-General says he inherited debts. Nigerian politician and entrepreneur, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has emerged as the new president-general of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has claimed that when he took office, he encountered certain indebtedness and financial issues.
Iwuanyanwu, on the other hand, congratulated Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma for rescuing the top Igbo socio-cultural group.
Iwuanyanwu made the revelation at a meeting with the leadership of Ohanaeze, state governors from the region, and members of the National Assembly, which was held at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Monday evening.
“When I became President-General of Ohanaeze, I encountered some debts and financial difficulties.” Thank God, though, for people like Hope Uzodinma, who rushed to our aid. He brought in his public relations officers and provided everything, including security, to make the journey very easy for us.
“It is important to mention here that this is not the first time he has done that. When he was a senator many years ago, I think he gave us N16m at that time.
“When our structure was attacked by these unknown gunmen, he rebuilt the house. And whenever we have any problem, he has been a dependable person,” he said.
