Ohanaeze Ndigbo Urges Public To Support INEC Amid Unfounded Allegations

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Calls for Unity in Support of INEC

Listen up, folks. The esteemed Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the leading Igbo sociocultural organization, has stepped forward to deliver a strong message. They’re warning those spreading rumors that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is planning to recall embattled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. These allegations are baseless, and the organization wants them to stop—now.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo isn’t just asking; they’re demanding that these mischief-makers knock it off. Why? Because they’re genuinely concerned that such false claims could tarnish INEC’s reputation and undermine its credibility. That’s not something anyone wants, right? Let’s keep our democratic institutions strong and trustworthy.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Stands Firm in Defense of Democracy

On Tuesday, the Deputy President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, issued a statement that resonated across the nation. He emphasized the importance of rallying behind INEC to ensure the thriving of Nigeria’s democracy. This isn’t just about one group—it’s about all of us coming together to strengthen the foundations of our nation.

The statement was clear and unwavering. It read, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Apex Igbo Sociocultural Organization, condemns in the strongest possible terms the malicious and baseless accusations directed at INEC. Under the leadership of Professor Mahmoud Yakubu, INEC has shown significant improvement in its operations, proving itself as a neutral and credible institution. It’s high time we all unite to support our democratic pillars instead of tearing them down with falsehoods.

“Let’s get something straight here. The political drama involving Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is already a hot topic. But spreading rumors that INEC is involved in her recall? That’s just plain wrong. These shadowy figures and their unfounded claims are not just misleading—they’re dangerous. If left unchecked, they could escalate into violence. We’ve seen it before—offices attacked, officials threatened. Nobody wants that. So, let’s put a stop to it before it gets out of hand.

Guarding Against Political Manipulation

“What’s even more alarming is the possibility that some unscrupulous politicians are trying to exploit this crisis for their own gain. The tension between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has already stirred up enough trouble. Adding fuel to the fire by targeting INEC and its leadership is not just irresponsible—it’s downright dangerous. We need to protect the integrity of our electoral body and ensure it remains a beacon of fairness and transparency.

“At Ohanaeze Ndigbo, we believe in supporting institutions that work tirelessly to uphold democracy. Professor Yakubu and his team at INEC have made commendable strides in reforming the electoral process. Their efforts to strengthen INEC’s independence and neutrality must be applauded and supported, not undermined by faceless groups with malicious intent. Let’s all come together and ensure that INEC continues to serve as a trusted umpire in our nation’s democratic journey.

So, there you have it. Ohanaeze Ndigbo is speaking loud and clear. It’s time for us to focus on what truly matters—strengthening our democratic institutions and fostering unity. Let’s rise above the noise and work toward a brighter future for Nigeria.
