Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that a classified memo exists within the Nigerian government, warning against handing over power to an Igbo person.

Sowore made the explosive statement during a recent interview, where he discussed the underlying forces shaping Nigeria’s political future and why the presidency has continued to elude the Southeast region.

“There’s a secret memo it’s not public but it’s there. It says never allow an Igbo man to hold power in Nigeria,” Sowore said. “That’s why they keep blocking any real chance for someone from the Southeast to emerge as president.”

Though he did not provide documents to support the claim, Sowore insists that the political elite and security operatives have long operated on this unwritten agenda, contributing to national distrust, ethnic tension, and political exclusion.
