Ohanaeze Ndigbio Worldwide, an Igbo socio-cultural association, has declared its support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Report indicated that the association is different from Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the group chaired by George Obiozor.

The chairman of the Ohanaeza council of elders, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, noted that the association believes Peter Obi is the right candidate.

At the end of the council’s finance and development committee meeting on Thursday, November 17, Iwuanyanwu said a coalition involving leaders from the southeast, south-south, and middle belt will support Obi in the 2023 general election.

Adding that the choice to support the LP presidential candidate is anchored on the desire for equity and justice in 2023.

He said: “Many of them still believe that it is still the turn of the Igbo, and in their wisdom, they said the presidency should be brought to the south-east.
“They have taken a common position to support Peter Obi, and of course, we the Igbo in Ohanaeze feel very happy.

“The truth is that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide is a part of the agreement by the southern and middle belt forum to endorse the candidacy of Peter Obi.”
