<h2>In a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore made bold claims regarding the future of Nigeria, particularly concerning the Igbo ethnic group. </h2>

According to Sowore, a divisive stance towards the Igbos exists within government circles, allegedly underscored by a secretive memo cautioning officials to “be careful of Igbos.”

Sowore asserted, “Nigeria has an Igbo problem. There is a secret memo in the government to be careful of Igbos.”

He elaborated that this document allegedly discourages giving Igbos access to political roles and other significant opportunities, which he believes contributes to their social and economic struggles within the country.

In his conversation with podcast co-host Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu, Sowore suggested that Nigeria’s political structure inherently prevents the Igbos from thriving.

“For an Igbo man to survive in Nigeria as it is currently put together, Nigeria must break,” Sowore stated, emphasising his belief that the country’s division is essential for the Igbo community’s survival and prosperity.
