Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu (Ahaejiagamba Ndigbo), the Ohanaeze Ndigbo  said ” we are determined to defend any honest and patriotic citizen  of ours whose right and freedom is being unduly trampled upon anywhere in the world.”

Chief Iwuanyanwu noted, ”  the news about the arrest of the Former Deputy Senate President with his wife in far away London was received with shock in many places especially within the rank and file of the umbrella body of all Igbo Socio-Cultural  Organization (the Ohanaeze Ndigbo)”

According to Chief Iwuanyanwu, the former president of the Senate Ike Ekweremadu has been a very active member of the organization
