*Enwo-Igariwey: Jonathan's endorsement was collective
Chief Gary Nnachi Enwo-Igariwey, Deputy President-General of Ohanaeze spoke to journalists during the week on burning issues in the umbrella body of Igbo socio-cultural organisations and the polity including the 2011 polls. The Ohanaeze leadership has been criticized by a section of the polity over its endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2011 polls. One of its vice presidents, Chief Enechi Onyia, has faulted the position of Ohanaeze on Jonathan. What is your reaction to this?
Onyia is one of the vice presidents in Ohanaeze leadership structure. We have the President-General, in the person of Amb Raph Uwechue, followed by the Deputy President-General, who is myself, then we have six vice presidents who are in charge of the five Southeastern states and Rivers.
These vice presidents include: for Abia State, we have Chief Alozie Nwogu, for Anambra State, Chief Hyacinth Nweke, for Enugu State, Chief Enechi Onyia, for Imo State Chris Asoluka, and for Rivers State Engr Isaac Nwanwu.
When you have one disagreeing with the decision of the National Executive Council, NEC, that is not an issue as far as we are concerned.
Did Onyia attend the meetings where the decisions were taken?
This man was part of all the meetings of the executive of Ohanaeze, he was also part of the Ime- Obi, and he was present at the General Assembly. In all these meetings, he never opposed any of the decisions we made.
We saw his action as been mischievous. I can believe that somebody who was part of the executive decisions can come from the meetings and address the press and try to misrepresent issues.
