The Igbo apex socio - cultural organisation , Ohanaeze Ndigbo , on Tuesday said the Igbo did not mandate it to pursue the actualisation of a Sovereign State of Biafra.
It maintained that its contract with the Igbo nation was to realise a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction .
The President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Anambra State , Chief Damian Okeke -Ogene, stated this at the end of the groups ’ meeting in Awka, the state capital .
He said , “ We are pursuing Igbo presidency because the executive of Ohanaeze , led by Chief Nnia Nwodo , has the mandate of Ndigbo to negotiate the Igbo position in Nigeria.
“ He wasn ’ t given a mandate for the Sovereign State of Biafra. That ’ s why we are saying , give us what is due for us and Nigeria’ s president of Igbo extraction is what we are looking for . ”
On deregistration of a splinter Ohanaeze group by the Corporate Affairs Commission , Okeke - Ogene commended the CAC for “ throwing into the dustbin ” the splinter group .
