Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore made provocative statements regarding Nigeria's future and the survival of the Igbo ethnic group.
Sowore argued that the current political structure of Nigeria inherently disadvantages the Igbos, suggesting that the country must dissolve for them to truly prosper.
Sowore claimed there exists a "secret memo" within government circles advising officials to "be careful of Igbos," which he believes reflects a broader divisive stance against the community.
This alleged document purportedly discourages granting Igbos access to political roles and opportunities, contributing to their ongoing social and economic challenges.
"For an Igbo man to survive in Nigeria as it is currently put together, Nigeria must break," Sowore stated, emphasizing his belief that only through division can the Igbo community achieve true prosperity.
His remarks have ignited widespread discussion across various platforms, with reactions ranging from support for his bold advocacy to skepticism about the feasibility and consequences of such a radical restructuring of Nigeria.
While some view his statements as necessary advocacy for marginalized groups, others express concern over the potential repercussions of dismantling the nation's political framework.
