WE CAN NOT LOSE FOCUS TO CHEAP BLACKMAIL AND DISTRACTION
The President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State Chief Solomon Ogbonna have emphatically expressed his commitment and determinations towards improving the leadership strides of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State. The President in response to the recent attack on his person and office by mischievous persons seeking for attention and popularity emphasized that there is no point descending so low to join issues with social miscreants and those whose track records have always been on the negative side.
It will be total absurdity of highest order for the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State to join issue with someone who was outrightly expelled from office few months after his emergence as President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State and was later Excommunicated from Ohanaeze activities by Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide due to sacrilegious and unwholesome acts. Giving such person attention will amount to nothing short of promoting an outcast to kingship.
Our focus is set high on our goals of making a visible difference in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State where all Igbos resident in Lagos state will be happy and comfortable. We can not be deterred from our set goals, our good works and track records speak volume and we are more determined in our quest of getting to the Zenith.
Normally, such attacks are expected especially when the transformational agenda of this adminstration have no room for parasites and manipulation.
The President expresses his profound appreciation to all men of goodwill who stood by him in prayers and good advice. He is highly impressed with the support shown so far by the entire members and stakeholders who have been standing with him under sun and rain with the sole aim that WE ALL ARE THE HOPE OF NDIGBO IN LAGOS STATE. One Love!!!
In order to set the records straight on the certificate saga, we wish to it clear that the National headquarters of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide should be the best place for enquiries regarding the processes of State Chapters of Ohanaeze Ndigbo election which brought the President and his Executives into office. We have Electoral guide lines to the said Election which were met by all aspirants and the Electoral Committee cleared all candidates to stand for the elections and the records are there.
Upon investigation after the same attack was lunched on the President by the same persons who took their shameless naked dance to Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Executive Committee (NEC);. The President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State Chief Solomon Ogbonna and his Executives were wholesomely given Clean Bill of Operation and declared all their allegations myopic and unfounded.
However, we make bold to state that grave consequences will always follow such gross act of illusive imaginary behaviors as portend by those agents of discords and social miscreants. At the right time, Ndigbo will take the necessary actions as any insult to the office of Ohanaeze Ndigbo President is a collective insult on Ndigbo at large. The Pull Him Down Syndrome must stop.

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.
According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.
She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.
While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.
She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
