Eze Ibe Nwosu, the traditional ruler of the Igbo community in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, called for fair political representation and credible elections in advance of the 2027 general election. Speaking at the 2026 New Yam Festival in Abuja, he urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the upcoming elections are free, fair, and credible, with outcomes that are acceptable to Nigerians.

Nwosu encouraged Igbo residents in the FCT to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and participate in the elections without fear or intimidation. He emphasized the importance of electing credible leaders who are committed to improving the welfare of Nigerians.

Nwosu, a former Supervisory Councillor for Health in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), advocated for equity, fairness, and justice in political power distribution.
