The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has condemned the bill in the Senate seeking to permanently elevate the Ooni of Ife and Sultan of Sokoto as the exclusive Co-Chairmen of the Traditional Rulers Council.

 The National Publicity Secretary of the apex Igbo group, EZECHI CHUKWU said this in a statement in Enugu.

 He said Ohanaeze Ndigbo called for the urgent withdrawal of the bill and the need to review it in consideration of ethnic differences, cultural sensitivity, geopolitical balance, inclusive governance, and equitable representation.
