Senator John Azuta-Mbata has been elected as the 13th President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, a leading Igbo socio-cultural organization. The election took place in Enugu on Friday, with Azuta-Mbata succeeding Fidelis Chukwu, whose tenure has concluded.
Azuta-Mbata, a former senator who represented Rivers East from 1999 to 2007, brings valuable political experience to his new role. His election marks a significant moment for the organization, as he hails from Rivers State in Nigeria’s South-South region.
The election was conducted through voice voting, with 15 other individuals also elected to executive positions within the organization.
