In his acceptance speech, Iwuanyanwu described the event as a remarkable day in his life, saying  it is a day when providence and the love of his people, Igbos propelled him to the position of president general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide. He said all through his life, he had done his best to serve Igbos both in time of war and time of peace.

Iwuanyanwu also stated that he did not nurture the ambition to be the president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, noting that “instead I had the ambition of becoming the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I contested for the Presidency on three occasions but I did not succeed. I took my losses in good composure knowing full well that as a Christian, all powers and promotion come from God.

“But today, destiny has placed squarely on my shoulders the duty of leading the Igbos as the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide. I therefore have a duty to valiantly defend Igbo course and I promise Ime-Obi and all Igbo people that by the grace of God I will not fail them”.

The elder statesman explained that he had carefully examined the present circumstances of Ndigbo and had decided among other things to focus on education, agriculture, industrialisation, electricity, power generation, health etc as core of his assignments during his tenure.

On the security situation in South East, Iwuanyanwu described it as very disturbing and expressed his belief that there is very urgent need for a peace summit in Igboland.

On Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who is the leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) he said Nnamdi Kanu is very crucial for any key discussion, adding that it is not possible to negotiate any peace while he is in prison.

“It is also important to note that the judiciary has discharged and freed Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. It will be the joy of many Igbo people and Nigerians to see Mazi Nnamdi Kalu released from detention. There is also a report that his health is deteriorating. I feel it is important that he is released to have access to his medical doctors so that he does not die in the prison,” he said.
