EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Elder statesman and President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has passed away.
He died on Thursday at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Iwuanyanwu would have turned 82 on September 4 this year.
Last year, when he turned 81, his New Owerri palatial home was abuzz with activities as he marked his birthday.

Widely called by his chieftaincy title of Ahaejiagamba Ndigbo, he became President General of the apex Igbo sociocultural organisation, April 20, 2023, after the demise in the occupant, Prof. George Obiozor.
