Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba sociopolitical organization, has denounced the claim that Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu, Head of the Council of Elders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, called Yoruba people “political rascals.”
Iwuanyawu is seen in a widely circulated video clip making the statement on Saturday during the celebration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s first anniversary in Awka, the capital of Anambra State.
In a statement released on Sunday by its National Organising Secretary, Apagun Omololu, Afenifere criticized Iwaunyawu’s remark and urged the Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership to issue a warning to him.
The statement was titled, ‘Re: The divisive Awka comment by Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.’
