Eze Ohazurume’s leadership continues to prioritize respect for Ghanaian culture, sovereignty, and legal frameworks.
Recent claims circulating on social media regarding the alleged acquisition of 50 acres of land in Ningo, Greater Accra Region, for the establishment of an “Igbo Village” by Eze Ohazurume I, the Igbo Leader in Ghana, have been categorically refuted by the Eze Igbo Palace.
In an official statement, Ronney Gogo, Head of Communications at the Eze Igbo Palace Ghana, clarified that the narrative appears to stem from a 2013 interview broadcast on Crystal TV. The interview referenced proposed plans that were developed in the aftermath of Eze Ohazurume’s coronation in 2012. However, those proposals were ultimately abandoned in 2014 due to unresolved land ownership issues.
The statement emphasized that no land in Ghana is currently designated for an “Igbo Village.” It further highlighted Eze Ohazurume’s longstanding commitment to Ghana, having resided in the country since 1995 and being married to a Ghanaian citizen. His leadership continues to prioritise respect for Ghanaian culture, sovereignty, and the country’s legal frameworks.
Importantly, the release reaffirmed Eze Ohazurume’s consistent guidance to the Igbo community in Ghana to uphold lawful conduct and to actively cultivate positive relations with the broader Ghanaian populace.
