Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an Apex Igbo socio-cultural institution, has strongly warned against the shameless propaganda, divisive speech, and reprehensible political tactics being used by the Anambra state gubernatorial candidates.

As the state gets closer to the November 9, 2025, governorship elections, Ohanaeze asked that this dishonorable behavior end immediately and that issue-based political campaigns resume.

In particular, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) gubernatorial candidate and current Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo, his wife Nnonye Soludo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy gubernatorial candidate Uche Ekwunife, and the APC gubernatorial candidate, Evangelist Nicholas Ukachukwu, are the targets of the organization’s statement, which stated that it feels obligated by its core mission to address the disturbing behaviors displayed by prominent political figures.

This distressing trend of generating hate speech and broadcasting calumnies not only tarnishes the collective image of the Igbo nation, but it also represents a significant departure from the hallmark of dignity and respect that our people are known for, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Chief Thompson Ohia, National Spokesperson, Ohanaeze, and the factional Deputy President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro.

The message claims that our tribe is deeply outraged by these once-respected political figures’ clumsy entrance into the public eye and their vile, all-but-funny, and compelling exercise in politics.

Part of the statement read “Their continuous descent into the vile pit of vulgarities and vituperations—aimed at each other’s political opponents—is unbecoming of esteemed individuals and demonstrates a blatant disregard for the cultural tenets of integrity and decorum that the Igbo people hold dear.

“Without hesitation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo firmly holds Governor Soludo accountable for instigating this repugnant campaign of slander against his political adversaries.

“It is our duty to urge him to refrain from resorting to derogatory slogans and mockery, which undermine the very fabric of decency that should underpin political discourse.

“We categorically condemn the egregious verbal attacks exchanged between Governor Soludo’s wife and Senator Uche Ekwunife; such disgraceful behaviour constitutes a lamentable affront to both motherhood and womanhood, and, as leaders, they must rise above this pettiness.

“While Ohanaeze Ndigbo remains politically neutral in the forthcoming elections and does not endorse any particular candidate, we must unequivocally state that should Governor Soludo, his wife Nnonye, APC candidate Ukachukwu, and his running mate Ekwunife persist in their unscrupulous campaign tactics, we will be compelled to reconsider our stance.”

The group pointed out that it is clear that the candidates’ ongoing involvement in such a shameful charade calls into question their moral and ethical suitability to lead the people of Anambra State.
