This resolution was reached at the inaugural meeting of the IAD, convened by Chief Dr. Chekwas Okorie in Abuja.
The meeting, attended by prominent Igbo leaders, resolved to convene a comprehensive Igbo Political Summit in Enugu to adopt an Igbo Charter, a long-term political agenda.
The charter will be drafted by a select committee of respected Igbo leaders, technocrats, and intellectuals.
Chief Okorie emphasized that the era of taking Igbo votes for granted is over, and any candidate seeking Igbo support must negotiate openly and sign a binding pact.
The meeting also resolved to launch a deliberate campaign of political reawakening through voter education, emphasizing the importance of the Permanent Voter's Card (PVC) as an instrument of empowerment.
Additionally, the IAD endorsed the creation of an Igbo National Grid, a coordinated structure to integrate all credible Igbo associations, unions, professional bodies, and diaspora groups for political mobilization, economic empowerment, and cultural renaissance.
