Igbo Groups Threaten Political Boycott of Sowore Over Attacks on Obi and Otti

Youth coalitions, traders’ unions and elders’ forums across the Southeast have warned activist Omoyele Sowore to stop targeting Peter Obi and Alex Otti or risk being declared enemies of Ndigbo. At a unity rally in Awka, the Coalition of Igbo Voices said Obi and Otti “are Igbo sons who have given Nigeria hope.” It vowed to mobilize voters in every ward, market and diaspora community to reject Sowore if he continues what was called “calculated sabotage” ahead of the 2027 presidential bid. Market associations from Ariaria to Onitsha pledged voter education and mass mobilization against anyone undermining leading Igbo figures. The groups stressed that 2027 is “Igbo Presidency or nothing” and urged Sowore to let the region focus on unity and progress.
