Yoruba Elders Pledge to Uphold Igbo’s Right to 2027 Presidency

A group of prominent Yoruba elders under the Yoruba Patriots Forum has publicly challenged President Tinubu over alleged plans to block the South East from providing Nigeria’s next president. Speaking in Ibadan, the elders warned that denying the Igbo their turn would betray the country’s unwritten power-sharing arrangement and deepen national divisions. They stressed that justice demands fairness and urged the president to act as a statesman rather than a regional partisan. The forum insisted that any attempt to manipulate the process against the South East would be remembered as a historic injustice. They called on all Nigerians to defend equity and warned that sidelining one region threatens the nation’s unity and stability.
