The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has said it will align with any political coalition that guarantees an automatic 2027 presidential ticket to a candidate of Igbo extraction, accompanied by a Northern running mate. Ohanaeze made it clear that any other realignment outside this framework is doomed to failure.
This was contained in a joint statement issued on Tuesday by Ohanaeze’s factional Deputy President-General, Okechukwu Isigozoro, and Chief Chinenyeze Thompson Ohia, and made available to DAILY POST. Ohanaeze was reacting to the defection of the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
“We demand clarity on his role and responsibility for the tragic deaths and insecurity that plagued Kaduna State under his watch. “Until he furnishes a detailed account and a transparent admission of his failures, El-Rufai will remain perceived as a political leper—one whose presence in any political domain jeopardizes its integrity and viability.
