The statement from Okechukwu Isiguzoro, a chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, emphasizes the importance of fairness and justice for the Southeast ahead of the 2027 Nigerian presidential election. He warns political parties not to nominate a Northern candidate to block the South's chances and stresses that the Southeast must not be marginalized or ignored. Isiguzoro references the 2023 election, where the Southeast's political aspirations were sidelined, and calls for a united effort to ensure that principles of equity and democracy are upheld, particularly for the Southeast in Nigeria's evolving political landscape.
