The Founder lgbo Youth Awake For Sustainable Development lnitiative,Hon Jude Onyeabor has describe the emergence of Chief John Mbata, President General Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide as one who will be to address the problems of Ohanaeze Ndigbo both at the national and state chapters.
He stated this when addressing newsmen in his office stating that Chief Mbata would be able to manage the difficulty in the apex lgbo Socio Cultural Organization as lgbos are difficult people to lead.
Hon Onyeabor went further to urge the President General to be mindful of those who parade themselves as leaders of Ohaneze Ndigbo especially the likes of Chief Everest Ozonweke.
He said,”Can some one who is not a Senator become Senate President? Can someone who is not a President of a country become the President of ECOWAS? Can some one who is not an Eze become the chairman, Council of Ndi-Eze?
“But it is only in Ohanaeze Ndigbo that someone who is not President of any state chapter will label himself as the Coordinator of Ohanaeze Ndigbo South West,in the person of Everest Ozonweke and the core National Ohanaeze Ndigbo leaders are watching without comment.”
“It is on record that Late Chief Iwuanyanwu made Everest Ozonweke one of his Personal assistants to lead him as a google map for street address in Lagos, today it is a shame on us and those who claim to be leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, that he is parading himself as South West Coordinator ”
“So, President General, you can understand the kind of people you are going to face as inner advisers.”
“Don’t forget that if you stop sharing money to them in less than one year from now, they will be saying it within themselves that past Presidents like late George Obiozor and Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu are better than you.Ndigbo has problems, just be yourself “he stated.
The Founder also acknowledged the leadership of Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, President General Ohaneze Ndigbo Lagos State for his selfless leadership in trying to unite Ndigbo and silenced all the cabals in Lagos State.
He opined that Chief Aguene is one who has done marvelously well than all his predecessor as he has been working tirelessly without any godfather for the sustainable development of Ndigbo in Lagos State.
“Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene is someone l know very well,the cabal in Ohanaeze approached me and some my members to join them in blackmailing some people especially Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene.
“My question to them was that,what has Chief Aguene done to any of them? All I know is that no President has done better than Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene because he came and has been working without relying on any godfather.
“He is the only President who has impacted peoples’ lives and took Ohanaeze Ndigbo to higher levels.Anyone that disputes the leadership quality of Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, that means the devil is better than that person.”
“I have told them that blackmailing against this man is even promoting him. Sometimes,when you talk sense, they say it is Chief Solomon Ogbonna that is talking? Is that not crediting him with all the wisdom in the world?
“My candid advice to Chief Mbata, the President General, if he wants to succeed without stress in Lagos,let him work with Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene.
“Their hope is to look up to what you can influence to get as President General and share to them. There is an adage that says “A real successful big man does not listen to the gossip of sycophants except if the man is big physically but poor in spirit.”
“If they come to you to speak against anyone, you should create time to investigate and find out the truth.”
“I know Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene as a successful businessman for over 20 years and I have been an Ohanaeze Ndigbo member for about 17 years before Chief Solomon Ogbonna registered as a member. So, I know Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos and all the members very well both the good ones and the bad ones.”he submitted.
