PROFESSOR George Obiozor has emerged President General of the Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Obiozor enjoyed the support of key Igbo leaders, including the Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, in the election, which held on Sunday, at Dan Anyim stadium, Owerri, the Imo state capital.
He is a former Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Israel and Cyprus.
Obiozor polled a total of 304 votes to defeat four other candidates.
However, some of the candidates were said to have boycotted the election.
One of the contestants for the post of Secretary-General of the socio-cultural group, Chief Chuks Ibegbu, earlier announced his withdrawal from the process.
