A Social Cultural Organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo has elected a former Nigerian ambassador to the United States, Prof. George Obiozor as the new President-General of the group.
Obiozor emerged in an election held at Dan Anyim stadium in Owerri, the Imo state capital, on Sunday.
His emergence was made easier as other candidates for the position of the President General boycotted the election.
Also, one of the leading contestants for the post of Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Chuks Ibegbu, has announced his withdrawal from the election.
Ibegbu, who is the outgoing Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the body, lamented that the election process was faulty and lacked proper democratic rules of engagement.
He said, “Following obvious distortion of the proper democratic rules of engagement and feeling the pulse of the Igbo Nation, I hereby exclude myself from the Nwodo led Ohanaeze election.
