Nigeria news comes to the forefront as Rev Obinna Akukwe, Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress, has urged the postponement of the January 10 elections at the organisation’s Enugu headquarters. His call aims to ensure a peaceful agreement among Presidential candidates Chief Mike Okiro, Dim Uche Okwukwu, Chief Jackson Omenazu, and Chief Fyneface Amaechi, to avoid a "cataclysmic implosion."
Akukwe supported the Presidential role being zoned to Rivers State in line with the Ohanaeze Ndigbo constitution, warning against election monetization and use of the Option A4 strategy. Declaring his candidacy for Secretary General zoned to Anambra State, he aims to re-position the socio-cultural organization, highlighting weekly revenue losses due to sit-at-home orders despite Ohanaeze requests. Daily Post earlier reported Chief Jackson Omenazu’s factional election as President General.
