The video was an old video, we have cancelled the plan -Eze Ndi Igbo of Ghana

The leader of the Igbo community in Ghana, Eze Jude Chukwudi Ihenetu, has issued an official statement clarifying recent misunderstandings regarding him acquiring land for the establishment of an “Igbo Village” in Ghana.
‎
‎Eze Ihenetu categorically stated that no plots of land have been purchased, nor are there any intentions to acquire land for the creation of an Igbo Village or Kingdom in Ghana.
‎
‎He explained that rumors regarding the establishment of an “Igbo Kingdom” stemmed from a misinterpreted 2013 interview conducted shortly after his coronation as Eze Ohazurume I of Ndigbo in 2012. He confirmed that any such plans were formally cancelled in 2014 and never materialized.
‎
‎This clarification was made in a press statement personally signed by Eze Ihenetu, following a meeting with Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, on July 16, 2025.
‎
‎He reaffirmed the community’s deep respect for Ghanaian laws and customs, as well as its commitment to peaceful coexistence. Eze Ihenetu urged members of the Igbo community in Ghana to remain calm, peaceful, and uphold the principles of dignity and integrity.
