Following the recent developments concerning political intrigues within Nigeria’s political arena, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has shed light on critical matters impacting the unity and integrity of Nigeria .
The Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation expressed its deepest gratitude to Professor Obasi Igwe, Dr. Harford Ugwu, and Professor Nwankwo Nwaezeigwe for exhibiting unwavering courage in unveiling a hidden agenda and clandestine political machinations of a factional group known as “Ohanaeze Reconciliation Committee.”

Secretary General Ohanaeze Ndigbo in a press statement said the factional group has been unmasked for ulterior motive to advance the 2027 Vice Presidential ambition of a Southeast Governor.
The statement reads: The clandestine activities of this committee aim to ally with the Igbo and Fulani leaders to position a Southeast Governor as the running mate to a Northern presidential candidate in the 2027 elections. This strategic move seeks to exploit Northern discontent with the Federal Government to oppose President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
“Despite facing setbacks exposed by leaked audio recordings, the civil intrigues to unseat President Tinubu persist, with financial backing provided by the Southeast Governor. This subversive effort involves leveraging a faction of misguided Igbo Elders to engage with Northern counterparts, Fulani leaders, and Northern Monarchs.
“The proponents of the Southeast Governor have resorted to deceptive tactics, baseless accusations, and alarmist strategies to obfuscate the truth behind the failed OHANAEZE NDIGBO RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE.
“Following their negotiation with Northern stakeholders in Adamawa , Kaduna and Bauchi between January and April 2024, discussions concerning a Northern Presidency and Southeast Vice Presidency for 2027 emerged.”
