The idea that they can use religion, sentiment, or even body shaming, as we saw in the last presidential election, will not work. “They have some of the best brains in this country, but they need to push these people forward, not those with questionable characters.”Why Igbos must embrace national unity over division, YCW explains”We need to review the constitution to make sure that power is rotated across the regions. “This will prevent sentiments and ensure that the Eastern people have a fair chance at the presidency.”End of sentiment-based campaigns”The last election showed how sentiment can backfire. The Igbos need to end the campaign of hatred and bigotry if they want the trust of other regions, particularly the Yoruba.”YCW urges Igbos on collaboration with other regions”For the Igbos to secure the presidency, they must campaign for it as a national issue and not as a regional entitlement. “They should reach out and collaborate with the Southwest and appeal to the North for support.”2027: North dump Tinubu for ex-President Jonathan
