Igbo Association Rejects Tinubu Endorsements by South-East Politicians

The Igbo Community Association in the Federal Capital Territory rejected claims by three prominent Igbo politicians that the South-East electorate is united behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election. The association's President General, Nze Engr. Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe, condemned endorsements made by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Minister of Works David Umahi, and Senate Deputy Chief Whip Onyekachi Nwebonyi as unauthorized and a farce.

Ellis-Ezenekwe stated that these officials lack the mandate to declare a political consensus for millions of Igbo citizens, arguing that their statements reflect personal political strategies rather than grassroots sentiment. The association asserted that the South-East region views the current federal administration as a failure, explicitly rejecting the notion that President Tinubu would sweep the five South-East states in the next election.
