Ohanaeze Youths Charge Council Chairmen In S’East To Be Result-Oriented

The Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing has tasked newly elected council chairmen in Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states to be result-oriented.

The Acting National President of the group, Chuma Okpalezukwu, stated this on Monday in Awka.

While congratulating the winners,
Ohanaeze youths called on the remaining south-east states of Anambra, Rivers and Abia to conduct their own without further delay.

According to the national president, “We congratulate all the newly elected chairmen and councillors in Ebonyi, Imo and Enugu states. We urge them to deploy the huge resources available to them to bring development to the grass roots. We urge other states of Abia, Anambra and Rivers to ensure peaceful and successful council elections.

“We shall entertain no excuses for any laxity in delivering the dividends of democracy to our people at the grassroots.”

Meanwhile, the group has constituted a special committee for the burial of the late President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

According to Okpalezukwu, “We want to use this opportunity to announce to Nigerians the constitution of the committee for our departed leader, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

“The committee comprises all commissioners for youth across all Igbo speaking states who are automatic members of the committee. We also reiterate our readiness to work in harmony with both the National Planning Committee by South East Governors’ Forum, SEGOF and LOC as already constituted, for the burial of our departed legend.”
