The statement reads: “It is a thing of grave concern to every Igbo adult that of all the ethnic groups in Nigeria, only the Igbo that a few unrepentant wary transgressors are recruited to tarnish and belittle the only apex umbrella body for which the Igbo are known.
“The Ohanaeze Ndigbo and indeed the eminent sons and daughters of Igbo land have pleaded with such mercenaries to desist from lowering the hallowed image of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to their levels.
“This group has been reminded to no avail that Ohanaeze represents the Igbo history, emotions, collective consciousness, and solidarity that should not be dragged to the mud and should not always place the Igbo online with their unguarded youthful impetuosity.
“We, at various times, informed the unsuspecting public to ignore the mischief makers and media navigators who leech on the invaluable footprints of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to issue press releases for perverse and illicit pecuniary interests.”
