2027: We’ll mobilise South-East voters against you if Nnamdi Kanu remains in prison, Ohanaeze threatens Tinubu

The Ohanaeze Youth Council has threatened to mobilise voters against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election unless his administration facilitates Nnamdi Kanu’s release, warning that his continued imprisonment could affect electoral support across the South-East.

The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has threatened to mobilise voters against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election unless he facilitates the release of detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group’s President-General, Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, issued the warning on Friday following a visit to Kanu at the Sokoto Correctional Centre.

Igboayaka argued that Kanu’s continued imprisonment could undermine Tinubu’s electoral support across the South-East.

“There’s no going back in 2027,” he declared.

He warned South-East governors and political stakeholders against campaigning for Tinubu without first demanding Kanu’s release.

The youth leader described Kanu as an influential figure whose continued detention remains a sensitive political issue.

He urged the Federal Government to pursue dialogue and reconciliation rather than prolonged imprisonment.

Igboayaka maintained that resolving Kanu’s case politically could strengthen national unity and restore public confidence in the government.
