Vote for your choice, accept winners – Christian traditional rulers to Nigerians
The Association of Christian Traditional Rulers of Nigeria has charged Nigerians to vote for the candidates of their choice during the 2027 general elections.
The monarchs, who met in Umuahia on Friday, also advised Nigerians to accept the eventual winners of the 2027 elections in the interest of peace and security.
Addressing the press after the meeting, the Chairman of the Board of the Christian Traditional Rulers of Nigeria, Eze Oliver Ohanwe, said there was an important need for the electorate to vote for the candidates of their choice in 2027.
He maintained that votes for the president, governors and legislative positions should be cast for people with credible records and achievements, not on sentiment and political party considerations.
The traditional rulers who said that the association wants peace, development and security in Igboland and other parts of Nigeria, urged voters to support the eventual winners of elections in their states, and to avoid acts of violence.
Also speaking, the host of the meeting, Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu, said the monarchs were taking steps to prevent killings and insecurity in the South-East and other parts of the country.
Eze Ofoegbu said that prayers organized by the group in 2025 contributed to the relative peace in parts of the South-East.
"We are praying for life and security, we are praying against death and insecurity in our land and that is why we want the best to emerge," Eze Ofoegbu said.

Nigeria U-17 captain Harmony Chidi has shared the personal challenges she faced while pursuing her football career, revealing that her mother initially opposed her decision to play the sport and wanted her to get married instead.
Speaking about her early journey in football, Chidi explained that her grandmother was the only person who encouraged her to keep pursuing her dream despite the lack of support at home, Sports247 gathered.
“When I started football, my mama didn’t allow me play. She didn’t want me playing football; she wanted me to get married. Only my grandma encouraged me, and now my grandma is no more. It’s just me and my mum now,” Chidi said.
Her revelation highlights the personal obstacles she had to overcome in order to pursue a career in football, with her grandmother playing a significant role in encouraging her ambition.
Despite the challenges, the young Nigerian captain remains determined to make her mark in the game and has set herself an ambitious target.
Chidi declared that she hopes to surpass the achievements of Super Falcons legend and former African Footballer of the Year, Asisat Oshoala.
“My dream is to be greater than Asisat Oshoala,” she said.
Her ambition reflects the confidence and determination she carries as she continues her development in the game. Oshoala’s achievements have made her a reference point for aspiring Nigerian female footballers, and Chidi now hopes to carve out a legacy of her own.
For the U-17 captain, the journey is about more than playing football; it is also about pursuing a dream that was not initially supported by those closest to her.
