Ohanaeze Ndigbo Demands Clarity from Tinubu for 2027 Elections

The Global Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has demanded that the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, clearly articulate what it intends to offer the South-East region ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a statement issued by the factional Deputy President-General Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Acting Secretary-General Professor Chibuikeya Achoakawa, the organization stressed that Ndigbo should not enter another election cycle based on vague promises.

Ohanaeze called for an honest discussion regarding the political and developmental relationship between the Federal Government and the South-East, highlighting the region's legitimate political, economic, infrastructural, and constitutional interests. The group specifically requested clarity on issues such as equitable political representation, the creation of an additional state, rail connectivity, maritime development, economic integration, national reconciliation, and the future of the South-East within Nigeria.

Ohanaeze insisted that political engagement must be based on clear commitments from the government.
