ENUGU – THE Coalition of Human Right and Pro-democracy Activists in the South East geopolitical zone, yesterday, dissociated itself from what it described as the “unpopular campaign” by the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo for tenure elongation.

The group said Ohanaeze’s endorsement of a single term of six years for the president and governors, coming in the face of the current instability in the country, was diversionary and  insincere.

Ohanaeze had in a memorandum dated June 28, 2012 which it submitted to the National Assembly Committee on Constitutional Review on behalf of the Igbo Speaking people of Nigeria, called for the adoption of a six-year single tenure for the president and governors.
