The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has urged President Bola Tinubu to urgently reconsider his political relationship with the South-East ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The organisation reportedly advised the President to pursue reconciliation with Ndigbo, warning that the political situation in the North could affect his chances of securing widespread support in the next election.
Ohanaeze’s message comes amid growing political realignments and discussions over regional support ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
The group is calling for greater political engagement with the South-East, stressing the importance of inclusion, mutual understanding and a stronger relationship between the Federal Government and the Igbo people.
Its appeal also highlights the need for political leaders to build alliances across regional and ethnic lines rather than rely on support from particular parts of the country.
The 2027 presidential election is expected to generate intense political competition as parties and political figures continue positioning themselves ahead of the polls.
Tinubu, who won the 2023 presidential election, will face the challenge of consolidating his political support across Nigeria as the next election approaches.
The organisation’s position was contained in a joint statement issued on Sunday, November 15, 2026, and signed by its factional Deputy President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and Professor Chibuikeya Achoakawa.
Ohanaeze’s message comes as political discussions intensify over possible alliances ahead of the 2027 elections. The group believes Tinubu should not take his 2023 Northern support for granted.
