The Southeast chapter of the Renewed Hope for Greater Nigeria (RHGN), has resolved to engage leading Igbo statesmen to persuade former Anambra State governor and presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Peter Obi, to withdraw from the 2027 contest and support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
Leader of the group in Southeast, Mazi Franklin Ngoforo, disclosed this in Owerri on Saturday after a meeting on how to secure victory for President Tinubu in all polling units across the five Southeast states.
He said the organisation would approach the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo under Senator John Azuta Mbata, alongside elder statesmen including Chief Emeka Anyaoku and Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, to urge them to lead a delegation to Obi.
