The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned the alleged plots to prevent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from getting a second term in 2027 by some Igbo people led by a serving governor.
The organisation exposed a clandestine political manoeuvre by a southeast governor to become the running mate to a northern presidential candidate in the 2027 elections.
As reported by The Guardian, the group made this assertion to shed light on critical matters impacting the country’s unity and integrity, noting that the plots to remove Tinubu have been unearthed.
Meanwhile, Ralphs Nwosu, the national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said on Monday, May 13, that Nigerians must understand that there is no alternative to achieving their potential than ensuring that democracy survives and functions by the rule of law.
The group expressed its gratitude to Professor Obasi Igwe, Dr Harford Ugwu, and Professor Nwankwo for their unwavering courage in unveiling the clandestine political machinations of a group known as “Ohanaeze Reconciliation Committee.”
A statement issued by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze’s secretary general, on Sunday, May 12, disclosed that the group (Ohanaeze Reconciliation Committee) had been unmasked for its ulterior motive to advance the 2027 vice presidential ambition of a southeast governor, PM News reported.
In another development, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Dare Glintstone Akinniyi, the chieftain of the PDP, said that the party was focused on the 2027 general election and not the fallout between Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike.
According to Akinniyi, the alleged rift between Atiku, the flagbearer of the PDP in the 2023 general elections and Wike, the former governor of Rivers state, has brought the party to its lowest in the polity.
Speaking exclusively to TimesNow.com.ng via telephone chat, on Sunday, May 12, the spokesperson National Youth Group, Dare Glintstone Akinniyi, said the PDP is concerned about dislodging the ruling APC in the 2027 election.
