From Okwe Obi, Abuja
Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Chekwas Okorie, has called on the Igbo political leaders and elite to unite, discuss and mobilise towards 2027 elections and beyond.
Okorie, in a statement by the Executive Secretary of Igbo Agenda Dialogue, Jonathan Elendu, said the meeting would afford Ndigbo another opportunity to share ideas on what to be the agenda of the region in Nigerian politics irrespective of political party affiliation.
He said: “After a number of consultations, it became compelling that a select number of our leaders across political party lines and other critical stakeholders be invited to deliberate on what ought to be the agenda of Ndigbo in Nigerian politics, irrespective of political party affiliation.

“God has blessed Ndigbo with a huge population and enviable geographical spread, which have remained largely untapped over the years. We have no excuse to lack relevance and well deserved respect in Nigeria.”
Okorie suggested that the meeting was not for 2027 alone, saying, “we owe ourselves and our younger generations the responsibility to provide the required guidance and chart a deliberate action-plan to reverse our present unacceptable situation in a sustainable manner. It is for this and other related matters that this meeting has become compelling and crucial.”
He explained that the meeting which is under the auspices of Igbo Agenda Dialogue, though political, is non-partisan.
“I wish to emphasise that this meeting is non-partisan even as the subject matter is political,” Dr. Okorie insisted.
