Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu Sets the Record Straight: No Plans for Igbo Kingdom in Ghana

 

In a recent statement, Mr. Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu, the self-proclaimed Igbo King in Ghana, has denied allegations that he is working to establish an Igbo kingdom in the country. According to him, the claims are based on a misinterpretation of a 2013 interview he granted after his coronation as Eze Ohazurume I of Ndigbo.

The Origin of the Misconception

Ihenetu explained that his comments in the interview were misconstrued, leading to speculation about his alleged plans for an Igbo kingdom in Ghana. He emphasized that he has no intention of creating such a kingdom, and that his role is to promote the interests and welfare of the Igbo community in Ghana. "We have no intention of establishing an Igbo kingdom in Ghana," he stated categorically, seeking to put an end to the rumors and speculation that have been circulating.

Land Acquisition Reports Refuted

Ihenetu also refuted reports that he had acquired 50 acres of land in the Ningo Prampram area for the alleged kingdom project. He denied any knowledge of such a land acquisition, stating that the reports are entirely false. This clarification is aimed at reassuring the Ghanaian public and the Igbo community that his focus is on promoting cultural exchange and cooperation, rather than establishing a separate kingdom.

Promoting Cultural Exchange and Cooperation

As the self-proclaimed Igbo King in Ghana, Ihenetu's role is to foster greater understanding and cooperation between the Igbo community and the broader Ghanaian society. He emphasized that his efforts are directed towards promoting the cultural heritage and interests of the Igbo people in Ghana, while also contributing to the country's overall development and progress.

A Message of Assurance

By clarifying the misconceptions surrounding his role and intentions, Ihenetu aims to assure the Ghanaian public and the Igbo community that he is committed to working for the greater good of all. His statement is a welcome development, and it is hoped that it will put an end to the speculation and rumors that have been circulating about his alleged plans. As a leader, Ihenetu's primary responsibility is to promote the welfare and interests of his people, while also contributing to the peace and stability of the country.
