A wave of controversy has swept Ghana following viral claims that the leader of the Igbo community, Eze Jude Chukwudi Ihenetu, intended to establish an 'Igbo Kingdom' or acquire land for an autonomous Igbo settlement. The allegations sparked public outrage and prompted stern warnings from Ghana's Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who emphasized the need for all residents to respect Ghanaian laws and avoid divisive actions. Ihenetu has since publicly denied any plans to create a kingdom or acquire land, clarified that the intention was to build a cultural 'Igbo village,' and issued an official apology to Ghanaians. The South-East Traditional Rulers Council in Nigeria also responded by abolishing the 'Eze Ndigbo' title for diaspora leaders to prevent further misunderstandings. The incident has highlighted sensitivities around ethnic identity, integration, and national unity in Ghana.
