    In A significant development, Senator John Azuta Mbata of Rivers State has been unanimously elected as the 13th President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization. The election was conducted through a consensus process in Enugu, with the chairman of the Ohanaeze electoral committee, Chief Ejiofor Onyia, announcing Mbata as the winner.

    • National Secretary General: Emeka Siebudu
    • Deputy President General: Okey Nwadinobi
    • National Treasurer: Peter Aneke
    • National Publicity Secretary: Ezechukwu Ezechi
    The five Governors of the South East states, who attended the event, reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening and supporting Ohanaeze Ndigbo. Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and Governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodinma, emphasized the need for unity and harmony in moving the organization forward.
