In a press release, the Ohanaeze faction exposed a clandestine political maneuver by a Governor in the Southeast to become the running mate to a Northern presidential candidate in the 2027 general elections.
This was disclosed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the factional Secretary-General of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
According to Ohanaze Ndigbo, the plot involves exploiting Northern discontent with the Federal Government and allying with Igbo and Fulani leaders to position the Southeast Governor as the Vice Presidential candidate.
Isiguzoro accused the Southeast Governor of financially backing the failed Ohanaeze Reconciliation Committee, which aimed to advance this political agenda.
Ohanaze Ndigbo lauded individuals like Professor Obasi Igwe, Dr. Harford Ugwu, and Professor Nwankwo Nwaezeigwe for their courage in exposing hidden agendas and clandestine political machinations.
The organisation refuted accusations directed at Isiguzoro by Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu as groundless and malicious.
The Secretary-General of Ohanaze Ndigbo condemned threats to the lives of its members and emphasized the need for transparency, integrity, and unity in the face of political subterfuge.
The organization also called on all Ndigbo and well-meaning Nigerians to stand together to safeguard their collective future from divisive forces seeking to manipulate their destiny.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to upholding its core values of transparency, integrity, and unity, and urged collaboration, honesty, and dedication to the truth to navigate the challenges ahead.
In other news, Aloy Ejimakor, the legal counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has claimed, via a release, that there is a treasonable felony against the agitator.
The lawyer, however, clarified that the Federal Government, from 2015 to late 2021, preferred two treasonable felony charges against Kanu
According to him, “However, even as he was renditioned for the treasonable felony offences, both charges were dropped by the federal government after Kanu’s rendition from Kenya. Another charge that was dropped was the misdemeanor having to do with the defamation of former President Buhari.
“Thus, from 2015 to 2021, Kanu was arrested, detained, charged, prosecuted, nearly killed (in Python Dance), exiled, disappeared and infamously renditioned for charges that were all later dropped or withdrawn.”
He explained that the Biafra agitator currently faces charges related to broadcasts alleged to have been made in furtherance of terrorism.
“This does not mean the same thing as Kanu personally committing any physical terrorist act, as aspects of the media often mistakenly suggest.
