The factional leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has accused Rivers State Governor Siminialayi Fubara and four South-East governors of orchestrating a political conspiracy to derail President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 reelection bid.
The group claims the alleged plot also targets the political influence of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, creating unrest within his home base of Rivers State.
In a statement made available to Ripples Nigeria and signed by its Deputy President General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the factional group warned of a “perilous political conspiracy” involving prominent political figures, opposition elites, and international actors allegedly seeking to exploit Nigeria’s economic challenges and insecurity to destabilize the Tinubu administration.
The statement alleged that Governor Fubara and his South-East counterparts were attempting to hijack the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to push their agenda, which includes forming alliances with Northern political factions ahead of the 2027 elections.
“These governors are engaging in an unacceptable attempt to usurp elements of Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s leadership, motivated by a malevolent desire to politically undermine FCT Minister Nyesom Wike in his home state,” said Isiguzoro.
He accused the governors of leveraging the economic hardships and insecurity facing the country to incite discontent and rally support for their political ambitions, describing their actions as “a calculated effort to stir discontent among the populace by exploiting real economic grievances.”
The factional Ohanaeze Ndigbo further alleged that the governors’ plans involved drafting disillusioned Nigerians, particularly Igbo citizens, into what it described as “planned revolutionary movements” aimed at discrediting President Tinubu.
“These factions are working tirelessly to forge an unholy alliance with Northern cabals and major ethnic leadership organizations to undermine and unseat President Tinubu,” the statement read.
The group also singled out Governor Hope Uzodinma, alleging his involvement in previous political maneuvers against Tinubu, including efforts to influence the 2023 APC primaries.
The statement emphasized the factional Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s support for President Tinubu and Minister Wike, describing them as primary targets of the alleged conspiracy.
“Both President Tinubu and FCT Minister Barr Nyesom Wike stand as the primary targets in this egregious plot,” Isiguzoro declared. “We implore patriotic Nigerians to unite against these divisive political machinations that threaten our democratic principles and collective future.”
The group called on the Igbo community and Nigerians at large to reject what it described as a dangerous scheme aimed at destabilizing the nation.
“This is not just a political power play; it’s an assault on our shared values and unity as a nation,” Isiguzoro concluded. “The time for action is now—together, we must defend our legacy, our rights, and our place in nationhood.”
The allegations underscore growing tensions within Nigeria’s political landscape as preparations for the 2027 elections begin to take shape. Governor Fubara and the Southeast governors have yet to respond to the accusations.
The Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has set up five-man reconciliation committee headed by Chief Obi Onwuachu.
The committee is mandated to reconcile all aggrieved members after the party’s primaries.
Other members of the committee are Ichie Mike Ejezie , Chief Amechi Chinweze, Chief Chris Akaghalu and Chief Mrs Tina Aronu
Their names were announced on Friday at the APC State Secretariat in Awka by the party during its expanded stakeholders meeting, led by the state chairman, Senator Emma Anosike.
The party used the occasion to ratify the expulsion of seven alleged recalcitrant members, who dragged the party to court in defiance to the APC’s constitution.
Furthermore, the party announced names of the three Senatorial candidates who emerged during the recent primaries in the state
They are Chief Mrs Chibuogwu Benson-Oraelosi for the South zone, Dr Mrs Ngozi Kene-Chiedu for the Central and Chief Kingsley Nnalue for the North .
Addressing the stakeholders,the state chairman, Senator Emma Anosike, declared that the party will do everything humanly possible to make sure that President Bola Tinubu wins the 2027 presidential election in Anambra.
He said: “Everything we are doing in APC belongs to Ward Chairmen, they hold everything.
“There is no bigger Party than APC in the coming 2027 elections in Anambra, anybody not proud of APC in Nigeria is making mistake. We must believe in the administration of Mr President, Bola Tinubu.
“If you are not a member of APC, you are not. Anyone that takes the party to court is automatically, expelled.
“This party is as strong as never before and every mobilization must go through the wards. We are entering operational election and not hide and seek election,” Anosike said.
An aggrieved political association, All Democratic Alliance, ADA, and its Protem Director of Mobilization, Ahidjo Ibrahim Karlahi have dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, before the Federal High Court in Abuja praying for an order of the Court to compel the electoral body to withdraw the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, as a political party in Nigeria.
The grouse of ADA and Karlahi are predicated on allegations that the Senator Seriake Dickson led NDC was illegally and fraudulently registered by INEC as a political party for the purpose of participating in election matters in the country.
In a suit with number FHC/ ABJ/CS/1115/2026, the two plaintiffs alleged that INEC gravely breached, disobeyed, ignored, omitted and deliberately failed to ensure compliance with relevant laws in the ways and manners NDC was secretly registered.
Among others, Karlahi and ADA alleged that the electoral umpire failed to comply with sections 1, 6, 13, 14, 222, 251 of the 1999 Constitution and sections 75 and 79 of the Electoral Act in the registration of the NDC.
In the suit instituted on their behalf by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN, Bankole Joel Akomolafe via an originating summons, the two plaintiffs claimed that NDC never met any of the Constitutional requirements for it to qualify for registration as a political party.
Besides, they asserted that INEC has no unfettered and unrestricted discretion to register the NDC as a political party.
They therefore prayed the Federal High Court to issue an order against INEC to void, set aside, cancelled and revoke the purported certificate of registration in possession of NDC.
The two plaintiffs also sought order of perpetual injunction restraining INEC from further recognizing, accepting, maintaining in its records or present any person on the authority of NDC as a political party for any election.
Another order of perpetual injunction was sought against NDC restraining it from parading, introducing, presenting or call itself a registered political party either by publication, broadcast or any other means.
The suit instituted on June 2, 2026 was supported by a 25 paragraph affidavit deposed to by the first plaintiff, Hon Ahidjo Ibrahim Karlahi.
While Ahidjo Ibrahim Karlahi and All Democratic Alliance are the two plaintiffs, INEC and Nigeria Democratic Congress are listed as the two defendants.
Meanwhile, no date has yet been fixed for hearing of the new suit.
Osborne Ubong Okon, a political aide to Prince Godwin Ntuk Udeh—the Political Adviser to Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno—has been relieved of his duties after criticising President Bola Tinubu on social media.
The development comes amid rising national concerns over the security situation in the country, further highlighted by the recent abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State.
Taking to his Facebook page to express his frustration with the current situation, Mr. Okon, who identifies as a member of the ruling party, wrote:
“In a sane clime president Bola Ahmed Tinubu would’ve respectfully and honourably resigned. I’m of APC but truth be told.”
A few hours after the Facebook post went live, the office of the Political Adviser issued a letter terminating Mr. Okon’s appointment with immediate effect.
Governor Umo Eno has consistently maintained a good relationship with the federal government since defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in June 2025.
