LAGOS – The Joint Assembly of Ndi Igbo has indicted Eze Ndigbo of Lagos
State, Hyacinth Ohazulike, of using his position to cause division and
disharmony among Igbos in the state.
Briefing the press after a joint meeting of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, the Traditional Council of Ndi Igbo and other title holders in Lagos yesterday, the President of Ohaneze, Chief Oliver Akubueze, said they had decided to disown Ohazulike over his refusal to implement a 13-point agenda agreed on with others.
He particularly accused the Eze Ndi Igbo of converting the popular New Yam Festival and coronation of kings in Lagos to money making venture.
But Eze Ohazulike, in a swift reaction, dismissed the allegations against him, saying he was not aware of any 13-point agenda.
According to Akubueze, Ohazulike has not achieved anything useful for Ndi Igbo since his coronation, but has rather used his position to sponsor crises among major Igbo groups in Lagos State.
He added that he has consistently abused the procedure, tradition and culture of coronation of Ezeship in Igbo Land, which to him is one of the product lines of his economic empire.(vanguardreport)
