The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned the call for the use of force to snatch power from President Bola Tinubu by the former minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

A statement by the president General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro said the Igbo socio-political group is solidly behind the administration of Tinubu and its policies.

Isiguzoro describe Amaechi’s comment asking Nigerians fo snatch power from the president as a threat to democracy.

He said Amarchi’s remark is capable of disrupting the peace and civility enjoyed across Nigeria.

“Amaechi’s equally disconcerting assertion that politicians must be willing to ‘steal, maim, and kill’ to retain power not only diminishes the dignity of our political discourse but also poses a dire threat to the very fabric of our society.

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms the reckless and incendiary comments made by Chibuike Amaechi against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

“It is essential to declare firmly that the Ndigbo will never endorse any political conspiracy aimed at undermining the legitimacy of an elected President,” Isiguzoro said.

Further stating the President Tinubu has the total backing of Ndigbo, Isiguzoro called on Amaechi to immediately retract his “divisive comments” against Nigeria’s number one man.

“Our resolve is steadfast, as we remain committed to fostering peace, stability, and fruitful governance in Nigeria.

“Let it be said that the aspirations of the Igbo people align with a future predicated upon legitimate leadership, respect for democratic processes, and a shared vision for a prosperous Nigeria,” Isiguzoro concluded.

“Having soberly reflected on and evaluated the political situation in Rivers State and the Governor and Deputy Governor of Rivers State having failed to make a request to me as President to issue this proclamation as required by section 305(5) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, it has become inevitably compelling for me to invoke the provision of section 305 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended, to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State with effect from today, 18th March, 2025 and I so do,” the president said.
