Apex Igbo sociocultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has stated that eligible Nigerian of Igbo extraction can contest in the 2027 presidential election.
President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Senator John Azuta Mbata, who stated this, stressed that any Igbo person who belongs to any political party is free to contest for the nation’s highest office.
“Any Igbo person who belongs to a political party and wants to contest any elections whatsoever in 2027 is free to do so.
“Any publications to the contrary is fake news, did not originate from Ohaneze Ndigbo and should be discountenanced by the entirety of Ndigbo,” he said.
Mbata described Ohaneze as a sociocultural organisation of Ndigbo and not a political party.
He, therefore, declared that Ohanaeze was not in a position to dictate or advise on who should and should not contest elections in 2027 or at any time for that matter.
“Ndigbo are advised to continue their lawful political activities in various political parties of their choice and membership,” he stated.
