    The Chairman, Council of Elders of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, A Pan Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu has expressed satisfaction with the peaceful atmosphere enjoyed across the south-east during last Saturday’s general election.

    In a statement in Owerri, the elder statesman said the fact that no incident of kidnapping or attack on innocent citizens by gunmen during the period was recorded is an indication that the appeal for “calm and peace” by the council of elders was heeded.

    Chief Iwuanyanwu commended Ndigbo across the nation for “turning out in numbers” to exercise their franchise last Saturday, and called on the independent National Electoral Commission to ensure “votes count” in this year’s elections.

    The Council of Elders had insisted on a peaceful resolution of the insecurity in the south-east, pledging that a peace summit will be convened after the elections, in order to “find lasting peace” in the region.
