Barely eight months to the all-important Nigerian presidential election billed for Saturday, January 16, 2027, below are the who is who in the South East, the political heavyweights and juggernauts who will lead the main opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), to a landslide victory across the five South East States of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States.

1. Chief Ralph Nwosu: He is the founding National Chairman of the main opposition ADC. Nwosu beat Mr. Peter Obi during the 2002 guber primaries of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), but was asked to step down for Obi, by the revered leader of the Igbo nation, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
2. Senator Augustine Akobundu: He is Senator representing Abia Central Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate, since 2023. He has just won the ADC primary ticket ahead of the 2027 Senatorial election billed for January 16, 2027.
3. H.E. Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha: He was the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (2011-2015), and former Governor of Imo State (2019-2020). Ihedioha was illegitimately ousted from office by the Supreme Court led by CJN Kudirat Motonmori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun. The Supreme Court illegally smuggled APC candidate Hope Uzodimma who came a distant 4th to become Governor through the backdoor.
4. Chief Emeka Nwajiuba: He was the former Minister of State for Education (2019-2022). He contested the APC Presidential primaries in 2022. Nwajiuba speaks Hausa fluently and is very close to the Buhari/Katsina Northern political bloc.
5. Chief Ikeobasi Mokelu: He was the Minister of Information under the administration of General Sanni Abacha. He is a political juggernaut who is very close to Kashim Imam, Zango Daura, and even His Excellency Atiku Abubakar.

Among other eminent political juggernauts and heavyweights, the abovementioned are the men of timber and caliber who will lead the ADC charge across the South East Geo-Political Zone, going into the 2027 Presidential election.

Our team of eminent young political scientists and investigative journalists have done our backgrounders on these men, and can state unequivocally and emphatically that they got the verified capacity to lead the ADC to a landslide victory across the five South East States, next year.

It’s against this backdrop that we the leaders and members of Afa Igbo Efuna Worldwide call on His Excellency Atiku Abubakar- @atiku, and the Senator David Mark-led @ADCNig leadership to without any iota of doubt shop for a Vice Presidential candidate, among these qualified Igbo leaders from the South East Geo-Political Zone, on or before June 31, 2026.
