The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organization, Lagos State chapter, has denied it dumped Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi and declared support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The group said the claim that its chapter in Lagos dumped Obi for Tinubu was from the pit of hell.
President of the chapter, Sunday Ossai blamed his predecessor, Solomon Aguene, for peddling such claims.

In a statement he issued, Ossai: “The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to the news making the rounds with a caption ‘Ohanaeze Ndigbo dumps Peter Obi, declares support for Tinubu’.
“The purveyor of the above remarks is Chief Solomon Aguene, the immediate past president of Ohanaeze, Lagos State Chapter.
“Ohanaeze, therefore, informs the general public that the current president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos State Chapter is Chief Sunday Ossai and only the Chapter President or an authorized officer of the current Lagos state executive has the right to speak on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Lagos State Chapter.
