Okwukwu, who visited President Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja, said: “President Muhammadu Buhari, we are highly pleased meeting with you today.

"As you can see with us are different Igbo groups, and based on that we want to apologise to you, on behalf of Ndigbo for the utterances and speeches credited to Chief John Nnia Nwodo, the suspended President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

“Those utterances were his personal views and opinion and do not reflect the views and opinion of Ndigbo in Nigeria, today.

“Mr President, just for your information, Ohanaeze Ndigbo have set up a 9-man panel to probe and investigate the suspended President General for his gross misconduct and violations of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Constitution 2015, and make necessary recommendations."
