A pan-Igbo socio-political organisation, Igbo Agenda Dialogue, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to promote calm political discourse ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The appeal was contained in an open letter signed by the group’s convener, Chekwas Okorie, in Abuja on Thursday.
In the letter, the group encouraged the president to guide political actors and government officials toward moderation in their public statements, while promoting issue-based engagement in the country’s political space.
According to the organisation, political parties—particularly the ruling All Progressives Congress—should focus on presenting clear policy proposals and development plans to Nigerians as preparations begin for the next election cycle.
The group also called for consideration of the case involving Nnamdi Kanu, expressing the view that dialogue and lawful processes could help ease tensions in the South-East.
While acknowledging the security challenges facing the country, the organisation commended the efforts of security agencies working to address them and urged continued reforms aimed at strengthening public safety.
The group further encouraged political stakeholders to promote wider citizen participation in the electoral process and ensure that political campaigns remain peaceful and focused on national development issues.
It also called on the president to reassure Nigerians of the government’s commitment to conducting free, fair, and credible elections in 2027, stressing that public confidence in the democratic process remains essential for national stability.
