Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has denied reports that Livinus Obasi was elected its new National Youth Leader.

National Publicity Secretary, Alex Ogbonnia, made the denial in Owerri, the Imo capital, on Monday.

He said though Damian Okafor was suspended by the National Executive Council (NEC), the body was working to settle the issues.

Ogbonnia noted that the purported bye-election conducted to replace Okafor was null and void.

“The said election lacks credibility and was neither approved nor supervised by us.
