Elder statesman, Chike Obidigbo, has addressed the controversy trailing the emergence of an Ikwerre indigene as the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Papers News reports that many Ikwerre indigenes of Rivers State, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, have always insisted that they are not Igbos.
However, the current President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Senator John Azuta-Mbata, an Ikwerre indigene, recently said he would not deny his Igbo origin because of politics.
