He stated: “As I reflect on the recent developments in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos, I am compelled to commend Senator John Mbata, the esteemed President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, for his wise and courageous leadership”.
“His decision to uphold the faction operating with the consent of the Court has brought the much needed stability to our organisation. I applaud Senator Mbata for his commitment to the rule of law and the wellbeing of the Igbo community in Lagos.”
“Senator Mbata’s verdict is a testament to his leadership qualities and ability to make tough decisions without fear or favour.”
“His dedication to the principles of justice and fairness has earned him the respect and admiration of the Igbo community in Lagos and beyond.”

This gesture demonstrates his commitment to peace and unity within Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos. I acknowledge Chief Solomon’s contributions to the organisation, including his innovative ideas and tireless efforts.”
“Personally, I must admit that I would have been inclined to accept the outcome of the election that brought forth Chief Sunday Ossai. However, given the President’s verdict upholding the court- consented faction, I am duty bound to respect the law of the land as directed by the holy scripture. As we all know, the law supercedes every individual or group interest, and I have no other option but to abide by this principle.”
“In the light of the President General’s decision, I accept the position of the Secretary of the electoral committee as recommended by the President of Ohanaeze Lagos State, Chief Dr. Solomon Aguene (Udochia) and look forward to working with him and others to strengthen our organisation.”

“Finally, may we continue to strive for excellence and make Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos a beacon of hope and progress for the Igbo Community in Lagos” Rev. Paul Eze concluded.
