 POPE LEO XIV TO UNDERGO LUNG SURGERY Pope Leo XIV has announced that he will undergo surgery in the coming days to remove a lump on his lung, which was detected at a very early stage. During his weekly Angelus address in St Peter’s Square on Sunday, the 71-year-old pontiff told the crowd that a lung nodule had been discovered during recent medical checks and was highly localised. The statement by the Vatican press office adds that Doctors had recommended an operation to remove it, and that the procedure had already been planned.  It further confirms that his recovery was expected to take about one week. Born in Chicago, Leo became the first American pope in May 2025, following the death of his Argentine predecessor, Pope Francis, on 21 April 2025. He was elected on 8 May 2025 to lead the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics.

 Richard Ozobu Appointed to Lead Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Election Committee


Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the leading socio-cultural organization for the Igbo people, has appointed Prince Richard Ozobu as the head of its national election committee. This decision aims to ensure a smooth transition of leadership from Imo State to Rivers State by January 2025.


The announcement followed a key meeting held by the Ohanaeze Elders’ Council and the Concerned Statutory Imeobi Members in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, from December 17 to 18, 2024. A statement issued by Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, emphasized the organization’s commitment to protecting and strengthening the Ndigbo Constitution.


Ozobu, a USA-trained Chartered Accountant and former Deputy Board Chairman of the now-defunct Cooperative and Commerce Bank (CCB), was chosen for his extensive experience. He has been a member of Imeobi Ohanaeze Ndigbo since 2000, which, along with his qualifications, positions him well to lead the electoral committee.


The committee will include distinguished scholars, professionals, and leaders from the seven Igbo-speaking states, such as Professor Chibuikeya Achoakawa, Professor Achi Achi, Prince Dr. Christian Dimkpa, and others.


Ohanaeze reaffirms its dedication to supporting the committee’s work and ensuring its independence from external political pressures, particularly from political elites. The goal is to establish a new National Executive Committee, with a President-General from Rivers State, while safeguarding Ohanaeze Ndigbo from political manipulation.


The organization also called on all Igbo governors to honor the original socio-cultural mandate of Ohanaeze and resist attempts to politicize the group, especially as the 2027 elections approach.
