Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, has officially exonerated Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State from any involvement in a plot against the possible release of Nnamdi Kanu, as alleged by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, addressed the recent indictments made by IPOB, stating, “Our attention is drawn to the indictments by IPOB that some highly placed political elites have been holding clandestine and nocturnal meetings against the possible release of Nnamdi Kanu.
However, we are certain that Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, is not involved in this plot. There must be a mix-up somewhere, and we believe it’s a costly mistake to get an innocent man involved in this indictment.”
Ohanaeze Ndigbo firmly maintains that Governor Nwifuru is a committed Igbo political leader, dedicated to building upon the progress made by his predecessors and delivering good governance to the people of Ebonyi State.
While the organization clarifies that they do not speak on behalf of the Governor of Ebonyi, they believe that it is the responsibility of Igbo leadership to exonerate an innocent man whose name may have been wrongly implicated.
“We assure IPOB that Governor Nwifuru remains concerned about the welfare and well-being of residents and indigenous people of Ebonyi State,” emphasized Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Governor Francis Nwifuru’s commitment to serving his people and driving development in Ebonyi State has been widely recognized, and Ohanaeze Ndigbo stands behind his integrity and leadership.
