In a press release by the
Secretary, Chief Everest Ozonweke, such allegation is a figment of
imagination of the originator.
The statement read verbatim: When
a hand shake goes beyond the palms, lots of meaning is read to what should have
been a simply gesture of complement's.
In the past few weeks Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State has gone through unimaginable circumstances in hands of detractors and seeker's of cheap popularity,
No past President of Ohanaeze have ever been subjected to the kind of inhuman and unwholesome treatment by those we entrusted with Responsibility’s as Leaders of Ndigbo in Lagos.
The dragging of the President's name and reputations to the mud through campaign of calumny, unfounded allegations to smear his public image and attempt to discredit the noble achievements made so far, is an action taking against the sanctuary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos and her Esteem Members.
Chief Solomon Ogbonna as the elected president of Ohanaeze Lagos State has with him the collective mandate and social Trust of members as author ego of the organization.

Within the three months
Ohanaeze Lagos leadership has received numerous police invitations based on
petitions written against the organization within Lagos and Abuja by
few members of the present executive whose sole aim is to ground
the activities of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Lagos.
Even the National Executive directive for stay of action was vehemently rejected by these unscrupulous elements.
In the Spirit oneness, peace and reconciliation various calls for an amicable resolution by stakeholders and some Elders meet a brick wall.

Their passion for destruction can be felt within the sphere's of their presence.
The President have the vested powers to take some decisive actions against these members but still he believed that one day they will come to terms with reality of Leadership and responsibility.
We have seen the writings of baseless petitions, falls rumors of arrest of the President and some principal officials, illusive propaganda and newspaper publications to instigate credibility question against Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State
I am making this submission based
on the online publication of Newworld of 4th
October 2019. Of purported arrest and
release of the president of Ohanaeze
Ndogbo Lagos State and investigation of his person by the DSS.
There is no invitation of the
president by the DSS not to talk of him being arrested by the operatives nor
being under investigation. It is all a husk that end to not.
The publishers of the illusive and
false article should not be hesitant to own up to the consequences of such
publications in line with the act of journalism.

However we are not against
punishment, nor taking of drastic measures on any official that is found
wanting upon investigation in line with Ohanaeze Constitution and By-law of
2006.
Many of our members have sacrificed
much time, energy and resources for the overall interest of Ohanaeze Ndigbo
Lagos State, the reward of their good act is fulfillment of their dreams (Unity
Amongst Ndigbo)
I must

at this point
|
thank the Nigerian Police for
the professionalism displayed while handling the petitions against Ohanaeze
Ndigbo Lagos State both in Lagos and Abuja, it totally changed my perceptions with
shift of paradigm.
This was made possible with our presentation of convincing facts and figures before the authorities.
In spite of the ongoing, the
leadership of Chief Solomon Ogbonna remains resolute in good service delivery
to Ndigbo in Lagos.
More than ever the crisis has
became a Golden Tonic and stepping stone
to the leadership, it has further exposed the President to levels of Maturity
and links, strong synergy with powers that be.
Directives on further actions
will be made known by the leadership soon
Counting on the continuous
support of members. ONLY THE BEST IS
GOOD ENOUGH

Thanks Chief Everest Ozonweke,
State Secretary, Ohaneze, Lagos.
