A former minister of Information, Nnia Nwodo has emerged president-general of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide.
Nwodo polled 242 votes to defeat his only contestant Chiweyite Ejike, the pioneer vice-chancellor of the then Anambra State University of Science and Technology (ASUTECH), who polled 13 votes.
Simon Ortuanya, a law professor, and Joel Ifeanyi Enugu, withdrew from the race just before the election began.
The seven Igbo speaking states — Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Imo, Abia, Delta and Rivers, as well as other affiliate groups, including pro-Biafra groups MASSOB and IPOB — participated in the election with specified number of delegates.
