Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the leading sociocultural organization of the Igbo people, has disavowed a declaration that calls for Yemi Osinbajo, the vice president, to be removed from office.
According to a previous report by Anaedoonline.ng, a statement was issued early on Tuesday urging parliament to impeach both Osinbajo and President Muhammadu Buhari for the nation’s security woes.
In response to the statement, Ohanaeze labeled it as the work of troublemakers, impostors, and charlatans.
The group emphasized that it has not yet thought about or publicly called for Osinbajo to be removed from office.
LATEST: Ohanaeze Makes Case For Osinbajo Impeachment Alongside Buhari
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in a statement released through its spokesman, Alex Ogbonnia, reads, “The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has come been drawn to a bizarre and reckless publication currently circulating in the media indicating that Ohanaeze Ndigbo calls on the National Assembly to include the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, SAN in the impeachment threat on the President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Ordinarily, Ohanaeze Ndigbo would have ignored the said press release, but silence in this circumstance will tend to give validity to such a fallacy by the unsuspecting public. It is, therefore, necessary to inform you that those behind the fake press release are mischief makers, impostors, charlatans and lose media navigators who leech on the invaluable footprints of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to issue press releases for narrow, perverse and illicit pecuniary interests.
“We wish to inform the general public that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has neither contemplated nor issued such a reckless statement on the person of Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.”
