The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has vowed to reject any coup d’etat against President Bola Tinubu.
The group stated this on
Tuesday via a statement by its factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu
Isiguzoro.
The secretary assured Tinubu of
Ohanaeze’s allegiance.
He noted that the body has
unwavering faith in the president’s administration and democracy.
Ohanaeze’s statement is coming
against the backdrop of reported attempted coup on Tinubu’s administration due
to the current economic hardship.
The statement read, “We pledge
steadfast allegiance to the democratically elected Federal government under
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership. Ndigbo has shown unwavering faith in
his administration despite attempts to instigate Igbo protests against Tinubu
“This message serves as a firm
condemnation of coup rumours and a stark warning to those spreading disunity,
discord, and disruption – elements who fuel hardship and economic sabotage.
“Supporting Tinubu’s success
stands as a crucial interest for Ndigbo, known for their self-reliance and
resilience. Past periods of political instability saw Ndigbo unfairly targeted,
leading to dire consequences.
“Any disruption in governance
is likely to usher in an era of anarchy and chaos, exacerbating the already
dire situation faced by the Nigerian populace.”
