Why New President-General Of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Nze Chukwu Will Serve For 27 Days

Nze Fidelis Chukwu from Imo has been appointed as the new President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide.

This was announced in a communique issued following the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide Imeobi and General Assembly meeting held on Saturday in Enugu, and signed by the Secretary-General, Okey Emuchay.

Chukwu’s tenure is expected to last only 27 days, as he will serve the remaining duration of the Imo tenure, which concludes on January 10, 2025.

His appointment comes after a series of unfortunate events that have affected Ohanaeze, beginning with the passing of Prof. George Obiozor in 2022.

Subsequently, in adherence to the doctrine of necessity, Chief Iwuanyanwu was sworn in on April 30, 2023, as Obiozor’s successor.
