Coalition of igbo Groups namely World igbo Youth Congress, Southeast Women Professionals and igbo Students Union had described the new emergency of The New Ohanaeze Ndigbo, registered in CAC as the collaborative efforts of all Igbo progressives and civil rights groups to redeem the battered image of the apex Igbo Socio Cultural organisation which was badly damaged through allegations of corruption, recklessness,discrimination and promotion of divisions amongst Igbo leaders which was characterised by the former President General, Nnia Nwodo.

Nwodo disbanded all igbo affiliated groups to Ohanaeze Ndigbo, non compliance and commitment to the igbo acceptance of biafra agitators as integral part of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the major role which Nwodo played in proscribing ipob and subsequently persuaded through alleged petitions against ipob to Presidency for the organization to be gazetted as a terrorist organisation.
The inability of Nwodo to implement the lay down visions and missions of the founding fathers of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, which was derailed and subsequently destroyed through masterminding the illegal amendments of the Constitution Ohanaeze Ndigbo with evil intent to disenfranchise some people from participating in Ohanaeze Ndigbo activities and especially the Biafra agitators .
The only Functional thing Nwodo’s Regime achieved was enthronement of acrimonious times and illegalities against Ohanaeze Ndigbo Constitution.
