The World Igbo Congress (WIC) has warned politicians and their supporters against threatening or intimidating Igbo people because of their political choices, saying it will no longer remain silent when such actions endanger lives and property. Vice-Chairman of the organisation, Basil Onwukwe, issued the warning during an interview with Rudolf Okonkwo on 90MinutesAfrica, as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general election. Onwukwe said the WIC remained non-partisan but would not interpret its neutrality to mean indifference to threats against Igbo people involved in politics. He said the organisation was closely monitoring political developments in Nigeria and would take appropriate steps whenever political disagreements threatened the safety of Igbo people.
