Mr. Peter Obi, 2023 Presidential candidate of  the  Labour Party (LP) has admonished the new leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide,  led by Sen. John Mbata to work toward the peace and unity of Nigeria.

Writing a congratulatory message  on his X handle on Sunday, Obi urged the new executives to leverage their position to strengthen  Igbo families and unite the country.

“On behalf of my family and the Obedient Movement, I congratulate the Newly Elected President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Sen. John Azuta-Mbata.

“The Deputy President General, Prince Okey Nwadinobi; the Secretary-General, Emeka Sibeudu, and other newly elected executive members, on their emergence as  leaders of the noble organisation.

“Their emergence as  leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the umbrella body that unites the Igbo people, underscores the level of confidence and hope the people have in their leadership ability and  commitment to the development of the region and  nation in general.

“I pray that they will leverage their new offices to continue to work for the peace and unity of our nation and contribute immeasurably to ideas that will drive development, peace, and progress amongst the people.

“May God give you all the wisdom and strength to serve the people. A New Nigeria remains Possible.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Azuta-Mbata and others emerged as the new leadership  of the Igbo socio-cultural organisation last Friday, January 10, 2025.
