The Political Movement of Igbo Delegates Assembly in the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 presidential election, pledging to mobilise two million votes for the All Progressives Congress.
The group also declared its support for APC candidates contesting governorship and legislative positions across the Northern states and the FCT.
The Director-General of the Igbo Political Movement under the Igbo Delegates Assembly, Chief John Amaechi Onwe, disclosed this on Saturday at a press conference in Kaduna.
The declaration is coming despite the candidacy of former Anambra State governor and 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, who is of Igbo extraction.
Asked about the group’s position on Obi, Onwe said the movement had chosen to support Tinubu, stressing that its decision was not based on ethnic considerations.
“We in the North are for Tinubu and nothing more,” he stated.
Onwe said the endorsement followed consultations with traders, industrialists, youths, women and community leaders across the 19 Northern states and the FCT.
