As reported by The Guardian, the group made this assertion as it shed light on the critical matters impacting the unity and integrity of the country, noting that the plots to remove Tinubu have been unearthed.
Meanwhile, the national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Ralphs Nwosu, on Monday May 13, said Nigerians needed to understand that there is no alternative to achieve potentials than to ensure that democracy survives and functions by the rule of law.
The group expressed its gratitude to Professor Obasi Igwe, Dr. Harford Ugwu, and Professor Nwankwo for their unwavering courage in unveiling clandestine political machinations of a group known as “Ohanaeze Reconciliation Committee.”
In a statement issued by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze’s secretary general, on Sunday, May 12, disclosed that the group (Ohanaeze Reconciliation Committee) had been unmasked for its ulterior motive to advance the 2027 vice presidential ambition of a southeast governor, PM News reported.
“The clandestine activities of this committee aim to ally with the Igbo and Fulani leaders to position a Southeast Governor as the running mate to a Northern presidential candidate in the 2027 elections. This strategic move seeks to exploit Northern discontent with the Federal Government to oppose President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
“Despite facing setbacks exposed by leaked audio recordings, the civil intrigues to unseat President Tinubu persist, with financial backing provided by the Southeast Governor. This subversive effort involves leveraging a faction of misguided Igbo Elders to engage with Northern counterparts, Fulani leaders, and Northern Monarchs,” Ohanaeze said.
