The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has urged President Bola Tinubu to confront pressing issues of extreme poverty, hardship and escalating threat of insecurity.
The group warned that Tinubu may face hurdles in the 2027 election if the problems in the country are not adequately dealt with.
Ohanaeze gave the warning in a statement issued on Thursday by the factional Deputy President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
The group asserted that some governors are deceiving the president by reporting that they will deliver their states in the 2027 election.
Ohanaeze noted that such promises would fail if immediate and effective solutions are not proffered to address the essential needs of the Nigerian populace.
The pan-lgbo group stated that it is imperative to inform Tinubu that the citizenry is not only overwhelmed by their circumstances but also at a precipice, risking a revolt against the current administration through the ballot box come 2027.
According to the group, the detrimental impacts of these crises will hinder the ability of all 36 state governors to secure reelection for Tinubu.
The statement reads, “Many of these Governors are peddling falsehoods and illusions of support, operating under the delusion that they can deliver their states for the APC in the upcoming elections, a perilous naiveté.
“However, it is the astute Northern Governors who may present a more duplicitous challenge. They are adeptly playing a game that could ultimately undercut President Tinubu’s ambitions, and it is this faction that he must address most urgently.”
Ohanaeze urged Tinubu to seize the historical opportunity to restore faith in his administration before it is irrevocably lost, adding that revolutionary policies are needed to win back the trust of Nigerians.
“A moment of stark clarity is necessary: the current alignment with these Governors, who perpetuate the country’s economic and security tribulations, must be reconsidered
“We further assert that the anticipated benefits from the removal of the fuel subsidy—resulting in significantly increased federal allocations to the states—have yet to reach the citizenry.
“Additionally, the Supreme Court’s decision advocating for local government autonomy is being undermined by those very Governors, preventing much-needed relief for Nigerians.
“The introduction of new tax reforms will meet similar sabotage unless there is a profound change in leadership and policy direction.
“President Tinubu must prioritize the eradication of hunger, poverty, and insecurity if he harbors any hope of campaigning effectively for reelection in 2027. The false narratives being spun by the 36 State Governors mask the reality of the ongoing crisis that the populace faces,” the statement added.
