Abia Governor Alex Otti and the Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe, have called on Ohanaeze Ndigbo to concentrate on institutional renewal rather than partisan political activity, Punch Nigeria reports.

Abia Governor Alex Otti and the Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Achebe, have urged Ohanaeze Ndigbo to avoid partisan politics. According to Punch Nigeria, the two leaders said the organisation should instead focus on institutional renewal. Their comments place emphasis on strengthening the group’s structures and purpose rather than aligning it with party politics.

The report does not provide further details of the occasion at which the remarks were made, nor does it outline specific reforms proposed by Otti or Achebe. Their intervention nonetheless sets out a clear position: Ohanaeze Ndigbo should pursue institutional development and represent its interests without becoming associated with partisan political activity.
