We categorically refute the existence of any factions within the ICA.“The association remains united under the legitimate leadership of Engr.

Ikenna Ellis Ezenekwe, who was duly elected President-General in November 2024 through a democratic and transparent process, in full accordance with our constitution.“Engr. Ezenekwe’s leadership reflects the collective will of ICA members, as endorsed by the majority of the Igbo community in Abuja.

As such, Eze Nwosu’s actions are unauthorised and lack legitimacy.“While Eze Nwosu is at liberty to establish his own organisation, he must refrain from misappropriating the ICA’s name and identity for personal agendas. Such actions risk undermining the unity of the Igbo community and contradict the democratic principles we uphold.

“The ICA firmly rejects these efforts and urges all stakeholders to disregard any parallel entities purporting to represent our association.“Under Engr. Ezenekwe’s stewardship, the ICA remains committed to advancing the socio-economic interests of the Igbo people.

One of our flagship initiatives is the advocacy for a Southeast seaport, aimed at fostering economic growth, generating employment, and enhancing regional trade. $(document).ready(function(){(adsbygoogle = window.

We stand united, undeterred by attempts to prioritise personal ambition over our shared purpose.“We also unequivocally dismiss the baseless allegations of financial impropriety directed at our leadership.“These claims are a smokescreen intended to divert attention from Eze Nwosu’s refusal to respect democratic processes.

Our operations are transparent, and our financial records are open for review by any credible authority.”He called on the Igbo community in Abuja, across Nigeria, and in the diaspora to rally behind the ICA’s legitimate leadership.“We further urge the relevant authorities to address the disruptive actions of Eze Nwosu, which threaten democratic norms.
