Former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore recently made controversial claims about the future of Nigeria and the treatment of the Igbo ethnic group during an appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast.
Sowore alleged that a secretive government memo exists which cautions officials to “be careful of Igbos”, and that this divisive stance towards the Igbo community permeates government circles.
“Nigeria has an Igbo problem,” Sowore boldly asserted. “There is a secret memo in the government to be careful of Igbos.”
He further claimed that this alleged document discourages providing Igbos with access to political positions and significant opportunities, contributing to the social and economic challenges faced by the Igbo community in Nigeria.
Speaking with podcast co-host Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu, Sowore argued that Nigeria’s current political structure inherently hinders the progress and prosperity of the Igbo people.
“For an Igbo man to survive in Nigeria as it is currently put together, Nigeria must break,” Sowore declared, emphasizing his belief that the division of the country is necessary for the survival and success of the Igbo community.
Sowore’s remarks have already ignited discussion across various platforms, stirring reactions among Nigerians who question the implications of his proposed solution.
In reaction to the video, an handle on X, @Kaygee4dbag1 wrote, “IGBOs can survive anywhere, any situation and any agenda. I’m super proud to be IGBO.”
@SuoazOfficial wrote, “Sowore has always said that Nigeria has an Igbo problem. His message has been consistent.”
Another netizen with the handle, @ruphy_dollar, wrote, “Let come together and dialogue which way,because this bala blu has dèstròyèd everything.”
While some view his statements as bold advocacy for marginalised groups, others express concerns about the feasibility and consequences of such a radical shift in Nigeria’s structure.
