The apex Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called for the restructuring of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

In a statement by factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the apex Igbo sociocultural organization said the political future of the Southeast lies with the youth.
According to Isiguzoro: “To restore confidence in the electoral process, INEC must undergo an immediate top-to-bottom restructuring, ensuring accountability and transparency.
“The flaws witnessed during the 2023 elections necessitate swift action to regain the trust of the Nigerian people.
“The political future of Ndigbo lies in the hands of our youth. They must proactively build bridges across regions, fostering unity and cooperation.
“It is through their concerted efforts that Ndigbo can aim for the presidency in 2031, contributing their unique perspectives and advocating for a fair and inclusive Nigeria.”
The body also commended the 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi for his bravery during the polls.
“We commend Peter Gregory Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, for his remarkable display of bravery. By transforming a silent political party into a viable third force, he has elevated the bar of political consciousness among Nigerians.
“After years of dwindling confidence in the electoral process, his efforts have ignited hope and inspired many to actively participate in politics,” he added.
