The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation extended the goodwill message on behalf of its President-General, Senator Azuta Mbata, through a statement signed by its Global Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ezechi Chukwu.

Ohanaeze praised Umahi’s years of service, highlighting his tenure as Governor of Ebonyi State and his current role as Minister of Works as evidence of his dedication to infrastructure development and national growth.

The group described the former governor as a statesman whose approach to governance has reflected innovation, commitment and a strong desire to improve public infrastructure across the country.
