Former APC presidential aspirant, Charles Udeogaranya, believes Gen. Ibrahim Babangida’s recent clarification on the 1966 coup is a game-changer for Igbo political inclusion. He argues that Babangida’s remarks dismantle long-standing narratives that have sidelined the South-East from Nigeria’s leadership, paving the way for an Igbo presidency in 2027.
Udeogaranya insists that the exclusion of the Igbo from the nation’s highest office for over five decades is a historical injustice that must be corrected. He urges Nigeria’s major political parties—APC, PDP, and Labour Party—to nominate Igbo candidates, emphasizing that national unity and economic progress depend on embracing fairness.
As the call for inclusivity grows louder, Udeogaranya sees 2027 as a defining moment for Nigeria. He insists that healing the wounds of the past requires more than rhetoric—it demands bold political decisions that reflect true national equity.
