A credible source at the election ground of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Enugu has disclosed to Jungle Journalist Media Limited that, contrary to our earlier report, Uche Okwukwu is, in fact, a suspended member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and is not standing for the election.
According to the source, the election is still ongoing at the moment, with candidates yet to be declared.
Another source also revealed that Okwukwu emerged from a factional election in Port Harcourt, where he was returned unopposed.
While the authentic election is holding in Enugu, Okwukwu’s faction held his in Port Harcourt.
According to information available, while some credible Rivers Igbos had stepped out to contest, one, in the person of Uche Okwukwu was suspended by Ime Obi and cannot run for the office.
Former IGP of Police Chief Mike Okiro Obama also stepped down yesterday following a court order barring him from the contest.
The other candidates include Senator John Azuta Mbata and others.
