2027: Igbo can produce Nigeria’s President only through dignity – Sam Amadi

Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, has suggested that the only way for the Igbo race to produce Nigeria's President is through dignity. He shared his thoughts on social media platform X, stating, "I have said it before, the only pathway to Igbo presidency in Nigeria is a path called ‘dignity’.

Eji ndu eme gini (what is the value of life), talk less of Nigerian presidency, outside dignity." During the 2019 and 2023 elections, there were calls for the South-East to produce Nigeria's President. However, former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, who ran as the presidential running mate for Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019, failed to secure the presidency.

In 2023, Obi joined the Labour Party (LP) to vie for the top office but came third, behind Atiku and the eventual winner from the All Progressives Party (APC). Obi is set to contest the 2027 presidential election under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
