President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, congratulated Senator John Azuta-Mbata on his election as the president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide.
The President’s congratulatory message was contained in a statement on Friday signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga.
Azuta-Mbata was elected as the 13th president of the preeminent Pan-Igbo socio-cultural group at its meeting in Enugu on Friday.

According to the statement, Tinubu wished the newly elected Ohanaeze Ndigbo president success as he takes on this onerous yet noble and lofty task.
The statement added, “President Tinubu also congratulates the group on the successful leadership transition and enjoins the new leaders to uphold the principles of their predecessors.
“The President recognises the critical role of socio-cultural organisations in nation-building; hence, his commitment to promoting dialogue among our ethnic nationalities.”
