No Igbo President or VP in 2027? Then Let Us Stand Alone - Pro-Biafra Voices Grow Louder”

The call for an Igbo presidency in 2027 has taken a new, firmer turn as Pro Biafra sympathizers and southern leaders warn that continued political exclusion could justify the Igbo nation’s decision to seek independence.

In a bold statement made during a regional leadership meeting in Enugu, one of the speakers who asked to remain unnamed said the Igbos can no longer continue to be “under two nations” that show “zero love or support” for their people.

“If the Igbo do not produce a president or vice president in 2027, we have every right to walk away. Enough is enough,” the speaker declared.

Frustration has been growing steadily among southeastern youth and political groups, who say the Igbos have been sidelined from Nigeria’s highest offices for too long. Many feel the political structure has been rigged to rotate power only between the North and West, while the East remains marginalized.

“How long do you expect us to keep pretending?” another participant asked. “We vote, we participate, but what do we get? Nothing but lies and more lies. Once they get power, they forget the East even exists.”

This growing agitation is also fueled by the belief that leaders from other regions have used Igbo support to rise to power, only to abandon them once elected.

“They campaign with sweet words. They come begging in Aba and Onitsha. But after elections, no roads, no hospitals, no jobs. The Igbos are tired of the deceit,” said a local activist from Anambra.

Supporters of the movement argue that if the southeast is denied a fair chance again in 2027, then the push for Biafra should no longer be treated as a crime but as a constitutional right.

“We are not asking for too much. Just inclusion. If we don’t get it, then maybe it’s time to stand on our own and chart our own future,” the statement concluded.
