According to am, apart from di late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, na only Nnamdi Kanu get power to command bloc votes of Ndigbo.
“MNK na unregistered political party unknown to INEC,” Igboayaka yarn. “But e dey exercise significant control over old Eastern Nigeria, specifically di Igbo tribe.” Di man talk with confidence wey make person wonder wetin dey happen for underground.
E carry matter go next level by declaring say Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remain di current political party for Ndigbo. According to di statement, na im be di prevailing political figure for Igboland. Dis one come mean say groups like City Boy Movement and Renewed Hope Agenda na just small thing.
Igboayaka yarn say all these Tinubu-affiliated organizations go just serve interests of their leaders. “Dem na source of stomach infrastructure to coordinators and directors for South-East,” e talk. “None of their directors or coordinators get capability to mobilize Ndigbo to polling units to support Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

“APC no go exceed 5% of votes if Nnamdi Kanu remain for detention,” Igboayaka talk. “E go become astute political maneuver for Bola Ahmed Tinubu to facilitate release of Ndigbo prior to completion of primary elections for Nigeria.” Dis one na serious political mathematics wey dem dey calculate.
Di statement note say Igbo politicians dey for verge of facing fierce political storm. Reason? Dem abandon Nnamdi Kanu for prison. Tsunami dey come according to di youth council.
“All incumbent political office holders go face compulsory retirement,” Igboayaka declare. E mention House of Assembly members, House of Representatives members, Senators, and Governors wey dey seek re-election. “Dem go retire democratically during 2027 Ballot Revolution for Igboland.”
