Ihezie defeated four other candidates.
Barrister Kenny Chukwuma was elected as the Secretary, defeating two other contestants.
Accepting the challenge to serve, Ihezie thanked everybody for the honour and asked for the unity of Igbos all over the world towards the actualisation of the Igbo dream of producing Nigeria’s president in 2015.
