Indications have emerged that members of pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, are at loggerheads over a largess made to the group by President Goodluck Jonathan and Minister of aviation, Princess Stella Oduah.
According to a report monitored in the Punch the apex Igbo group has been engulfed in crisis since after a visit of its leaders to President Goodluck Jonathan.
The source, who is a prominent member of the group, alleged that the delegation received N30m from the Presidency and another N10m from the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah.
He claimed the N10m from Oduah was to appreciate the group’s solidarity for her during her ordeal over the N255m bulletproof jeep saga.
“With the development on the ground, some very strong members of ours are pushing for a split and that could happen by the first or second week of January,” the source said.
However, Secretary General of the Ohanaeze, Dr. Joe Nwaorgu, dismissed the alleged cash gifts to the delegation as “a fabrication by faceless scary minds, which should not command my comment.
