The Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organisation Worldwide has taken a bold step by withdrawing the hip of Senator John Azuta Mbata, declaring him a stranger to Ikwerre land.

This decisive action was made in response to Senator Mbata’s acceptance of the position of President-General of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, a socio-cultural organization of the Igbo people.

The organization’s statement, signed by Eze Barr. Godspower Onuekwa Ph.D., President-General, and Barr. Nyebuchi Philips, Secretary-General, clearly outlined the reasons for this decision.

“By becoming the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, an exclusive organization of Igbo people, he has willingly and freely renounced his hip and identity with the Ikwerre people (Iwhuruohna),” the statement read.

The organization emphasized that Senator Mbata’s actions were not representative of the Ikwerre people, stating that his decision was “not the collective view, will, position, or thinking of Eneka Community, Apara Kingdom, and the entire Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality.”

Furthermore, the organization declared: “As an Igbo man, he is now seen, regarded, and declared as a stranger living in Ikwerre land. Therefore, he has been barred from participating in any Iwhuruohna gathering, meetings, or political representation starting from his Eneka Community, Apara Kingdom, and Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organisation Worldwide.”


In addition, the organization announced that all awards, honors, and titles bestowed on Senator Mbata by any organization in Ikwerre have been withdrawn.

The organization also issued a stern warning to others who may consider following in Senator Mbata’s footsteps, stating that “heavy and appropriate sanctions await those who betray and sell out their Ikwerre identity on a platter of political expediency and a mere mess of porridge, according to Ikwerre custom and tradition.”

Ikwerre noise makers. Go close to Senator Azuka Mbata and you will receive a point blank. Fubara is behind that man 100%. All this wike sponsored reder is just to massage the ego of the yorubas

Why this makes no sense is that Mbata is not the first ikwerre man to be Ohaneze president

Ikwerre has produced a president and a general secretary

DR OBI WALI the greatest ikwerre man was a General Secretary and one of the founding fathers of Ohaneze...

So I don't get this attack on Mbata it's obviously sponsored

Ogbakor Ikwerre is a faceless group?, a group that exists before Ohaneze Ndigbo was formed. You must be ignorant.

Ogbakor Ikwerre is the biggest Ikwerre social cultural group. It's even older than Ohaeneze ndigbolugi.

I wonder why N'digbo just like to gather people to them by force!
Make my Ikwerre people wise up and not give in to those cunning people to buy them over!

King of senseless quoting 😆😆😆

I can only laugh at them.

When it was time for Presidency (Igbo President)Amaechi can be Igbo and all of them are quiet.

Ohanaeze they want the sky to fall.

Well if the sky fall it will be on their head.


I foresee Ogbakor Ikwerre losing al their and Ohanaeze taking over Rivers State completely.

The people behind Mbata from Ikwerre are much and highly placed and if time is not taken, those in charge of Ogbakor Ikwerre will pay dearly.


Let them keep running their stinking mouth, Mbata ers in and outside Rivers state are in the majority.

Irrelevant group

Good.IIt will be on record that an Ikwere man became PG of Onaeze and also on record that he was expelled for taking that position
