The Onyendu Ndigbo of Ibadan and Oyo state, High Chief Alloy Obi, has described the late President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuayanwu, as an amazing leader who worked very hard to transform the socio-cultural association.

High Chief Obi stated this in a press statement titled, AN IROKO AT THE HEART OF IGBO NATION HAS FALLEN.

 ''Ndigbo in Oyo state were saddened and have not come to terms with the shocking and sudden transition of an Iroko, an icon, an entrepreneur of international repute, a tested politician, a pillar of sports, a philanthropist, and above all, the President General, Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuayanwu (Ahaejiagamba). Ndigbo felt the transformational impact of his 15 months on the saddle of Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership. He was simply amazing. Ndigbo has recorded an irreparable loss at a time that was at its peak of repositioning Ohaeze Ndigbo to an enviable height among other socio-cultural organizations in the country.''

''Our solace is that Ahaejiagamba has left a blueprint for Ndigbo as a guide towards greatness as a nation. Ndigbo in Oyo state condole with his immediate family, Imo state and the entire Igbo nation,'' High Chief Obi concluded.
