Igbira Tribal Union

The Igbira - tribal Union was a political party and nationalist organization, which was founded by educated people in the service Igbira - native administration in British Northern Nigeria.

The party chairman was George Ohikere. The Union was one of the non - Hausa - Fulani organizations, which was associated with the dominant Northern Peoples Congress during the elections of the 1950s. They campaigned for the restoration of the official status of the EBiRa language, a language nupoiden.

However, it was from 1958 to 1959 to stress the political alliance with the Northern Peoples Congress, as both parties lined up their own candidates for election to the House of Representatives in Nigeria in 1959.
