![I Prefer Working From Outside – Ohakim Reacts To Nursing Ambition To Become Ohanaeze President-General](https://i0.wp.com/solakuti.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/ba84faf05f7bd5d241ee8650b1321ec4.png?w=788&ssl=1)
Former Imo State Governor, Ikedi Ohakim has denied claims of nursing an ambition to become the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organization.
Ohakim said though he once led an agitation to stop some elements from truncating the January 2021 election of Ohanaeze, he never aspired to be the President-General of the socio-cultural organization.
The former governor said he preferred to work from the outside to repair the cracks within the apex Igbo socio-political organization.
Ohakim disclosed this in a statement he personally signed.
The statement reads partly: “I never nursed the ambition of becoming the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“It is common knowledge that I was at the forefront of the move to stop some unscrupulous elements from truncating the January 2021 Ohanaeze election that ushered in the immediate past President-General, the late Professor George Obiozor.
“The issues are yet to be completely resolved and if anything, I see myself better working from the outside to ensure that every crack in Ohanaeze is smoothened.”
