Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a prominent Igbo socio-cultural organization, has urged President Bola Tinubu to reconcile with the Igbo community ahead of the 2027 elections. The group's factional Deputy President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and Professor Chibuikeya Achoakawa, issued a joint press statement on Sunday outlining their concerns.
While acknowledging the federal infrastructure projects in the Southeast, Ohanaeze stressed that such actions alone are insufficient to address the political and economic grievances faced by the Igbo people. The organization emphasized that President Tinubu must recognize the Igbo's constitutional right to aspire to the Nigerian presidency, and that any political understanding must be built on mutual respect, measurable commitments, and genuine inclusion.
Ohanaeze cautioned against assuming that the support of Igbo political intermediates automatically signifies the confidence of the broader Igbo population. They stressed the need for direct consultations with credible stakeholders and concrete actions toward longstanding grievances. Ohanaeze firmly stated that President Tinubu still has an opportunity to rebuild trust with the Igbo and strengthen his relationship with Southern Nigeria.
However, they emphasized that this opportunity must be matched with tangible actions rather than mere political rhetoric.
