2027 Election: Work Against North If Obi Can’t Become President, Archbishop Tells Igbos

Published

on

The Methodist Archbishop of Okigwe Archdiocese, Most Rev. Biereonwu Livinus Onuagha, has strongly declared that Mr Peter Obi becoming Nigeria’s president in 2027 would be the best thing to happen to the country.

Onuagha endorsed Peter Obi for president in 2027, calling him intelligent, focused, and Nigeria’s best hope for change

The cleric criticised El-Rufai’s involvement in the ADC, warned against political instability, and urged power rotation to the South.

In a recent statement,  the bishop however, noted that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s administration will be more acceptable to Nigeria than having a Northern man to become the president of the country when the Southern Nigeria has not completed its eight-year tenure of office like the Northerners had under late President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Methodist Archbishop said that it is the height of injustice for and North to begin to seek to occupy the office of the president when the Southern part of the country has not completed eight years like the North enjoyed under the late Buhari.

Onuagha who also stated that it is only Mr. Peter Obi that will bail Nigeria out of the wobbling situation it finds itself under the present administration but noted that Nigerians and Ndigbo in particular will prefer Tinubu to continue if Mr Obi fails to win the next presidential election.

Describing the fledgling political coalition in the African Democratic Congress ADC as something that will not yield any fruit result if they fail to allow Mr Obi to be their presidential flag bearer, Archbishop Onuagha said that the greatest disservice the coalition will do to itself is have a Northerner as its flag bearer.

The Methodist Archbishop who expressed worry over the ambition of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, said that the coalition will collapse if it fails to allow Mr Obi to be their party flagbearer. And Dave Umahi call will be justified if Obi didn’t become their presidential flagbearer, and then I will urge Ndigbo and the Obedients to rally round Tinubu for second tenure.

“In fairness to the North, they have people who are qualified to rule Nigeria but fairness demands that they should step aside now and allow anybody will do better for the Southern extraction of the country or they allow Tonubu to complete his tenure.

“Nigeria does not need a Northerner to be the president now. What Nigeria need now is president from Southern extraction of the country. Nigerians should rather give total support to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, if they cannot get Mr Peter Obi to rule the country.

“Do you know why am saying this, Igbo’s have never gotten the type of favour from Federal Government, like we have this time around. Yes that is being selfish, but it is the truth.

His administration encourage farmers herders clashes and you all know the Southern Kaduna crisis and his stand. Christian in the that state have a lot of nasty story to tell about their ordeal while his administration lasted.

“What is he even coming to do in power again. Is it because he lost power under the present administration. Tinubu did not give him any position and now he is seeking with other to remove him, so that they can start from where they stopped under immediate past administration.

“I believe the Igbo’s are safer in the hands of President Tinubu, than in the hands of the likes of El’ Rufai, and other Morthern cabal who have now teamed up to wrestle power out of the hands of President Tinubu.

Whom did Tinubu succeed, was it not Buhari that handed over power to Tinubu, after spending eight years in office. How can one justify that after eight years, the North is asking for power, to return to the office of the president, that is total selfishness. That is total injustice and unacceptable. That is against the power sharing formula.

“For equity and fairness the Southern should continue in office. In fairness to to the Southern extraction of Nigeria, it is either Obi is allowed to become the president or President Tinubu to continue to complete his eight years tenure of office for the Southern Nigeria, but total no to giving it to the North because it is not their turn.

“South East, South West, South South are Middle Belt are pat of this country they should be allowed to rule this country, one section of the country cannot continue to rule in the country, it is not done in any

part of the world. It cannot be allowed only in Nigeria. Nigerians should not allow certain thing to happen in this country, we cannot continue to be passive towards certain things that happen in the country.

“If Tinubu is not good, somebody else from Southern Nigeria should be elected instead of the Northernes who are trying to wrestle power out of the hands of President Tinubu, people like former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Anubakar, El’ Rufai, David Mark and others should go home and sit down and allow the Southern Nigerian person to flag their flag, only by so doing there will be equity and fairness and their plan will be achieved.

“No doubt Nigerians are crying because of strict measures the present administration came up with, especially, the removal of Fuel Subsidy, but I think the Igbo’s are better in the hands of Tinubu. The only thing the Igbo’s don’t like is the wickedness and selfishness that is happening in Lagos State, under Governor Sanwo Olu. However, the people of Lagos knows that Igbo’s are the dominating population in Lagos so whatever they are doing it is for the moment.

“It is unfortunate that Governor Sanwo Olu, who’s mother is a Christian, a Methodist Christian, we can’t understand why under his administration the Igbos are subjected to humiliations and he is watching, supporting abd enjoying it.

Yes, Mr Peter Obi our own brother is also in the coalition, When we talk about Peter Obi, a good son of Ndigbo, established, sensible, intelligent and focused, a man with a lot of integrity and an illustrious son of Ndigbo, he has good intentions for Nigeria but the powers that been do not want him. He has tried but didn’t succeed, he has all its takes to bail on Nigeria out and I will sincerely ask the obedient to rally round him but if Obi fails to emerge the candidate of ADC Coalition, they should rally round President Tinubu for his second tenure to deliver us from the greedy people that want to enjoy the turn of the Southern Nigeria.

“If we give an inch and try to push President Tinubu out without have Obi in, we will surely go into political quagmire that we may not know how to come out of it. This is a golden opportunity and I pray that Peter Gregory Obi will succeed or he will understand if Tinubu is allowed to continue.

“You can see the confusion they are placing Obi in ADC, they are blocking him. Atiku said Nigeria wants only a Northerner and not an Igbo or Yoruba. The Northern like him have made up their mind to enslave us forever and that should not be allowed to happen. It is either we get Obi to be president or we comply with Dave Umahi call.

“I want to tell every Nigerian that Peter Obi is the best thing that will happen to Nigeria, but since Nigerians want him and the ruling class don’t want him and are blocking the way, what else can he do. If we go on the streets to protest the Military will take over and who knows who will become the head of state if the military takes over.

“Please we need to think deep before we leap this time around. Sentiments apart, if we can’t have Obi become the president, let us liste to Dave Umahi. With all the loopholes, with all the wobbling under the present administration, it is better for us in this wobbling situation than to enter into a situation that many of us will regret. North, it is not your turn, wait for the South to complete their turn.”

Wike Gives Condition to Resign From Tinubu’s Cabinet, Video Surfaces

Tinubu and wike

Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has publicly dared critics to disprove road construction claims tied to President Bola Tinubu’s administration, staking his resignation on the figures he presented at a commissioning ceremony in Abuja on Friday, July 17, 2026.

Speaking during the inauguration of the reconstructed Arab/Gbazango road in Kubwa, Wike said 221 kilometres of roads have been completed out of 317 kilometres awarded across satellite towns in the FCT since Tinubu assumed office in May 2023

The minister directed his remarks at those he described as detractors of the administration’s urban renewal programme.

Wike said: “The people of the satellite towns have felt the impact of governance. It has never happened in the history of the administration of this country. “If there is anybody who has a contrary view, let him come out and challenge us that all these you are saying is not correct, I will resign as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory.”

The event was tagged “Day 28” of a running series of FCT project commissionings, reflecting what the minister characterised as an accelerated delivery of infrastructure across the capital territory.

Legit reports that the Arab/Gbazango Road in Kubwa was among the projects cited as evidence of Tinubu’s administration’s ‘commitment to completing long-neglected routes in residential communities surrounding Abuja’s city centre’.

Wike’s remarks come amid ongoing debate between government officials and opposition figures over the pace and scale of federal infrastructure delivery.

While the minister presented the kilometre figures as evidence of tangible progress, critics have continued to question the scope and quality of projects executed under the current FCT administration

BREAKING: Mystery Deepens as Fresh Details Emerge in Mary Habila’s Death at Tinubu Minister’s House

Published

on

The Ebonyi State Ministry of Justice has recommended that a post-mortem examination be conducted to determine the cause of death of 26-year-old Mary Habila, who was found dead at the Uburu residence of the Minister of Works, David Umahi.

The recommendation was contained in a legal advice dated July 15, 2026, and addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ebonyi State Police Command.Radio

According to the document, reportedly obtained by SaharaReporters, the advice followed a police investigation into Habila’s death at the minister’s residence on June 27.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) stated that the evidence contained in the police case file was insufficient to establish the cause of her death.

The legal advice noted that Habila was found alone and unresponsive in her apartment, adding that investigators were unable to determine what led to her death based on the available evidence.

According to the DPP, there was nothing in the investigation to suggest that Habila had any known illness or underlying health condition before her sudden death.

“There was no evidence that the deceased was indisposed, sick or unstable health-wise prior to her sudden death, as she was full of life at the time she returned to Uburu in company of her team,” the document stated.

The ministry argued that, in the absence of any known medical condition, a scientific examination was necessary to establish the actual cause of death.

“From the foregoing, therefore, the question that would readily come to mind is what exactly caused the deceased’s sudden death?” the DPP queried.

It maintained that a post-mortem examination remained the most appropriate means of providing investigators with a clear direction.

“This curiosity under the law can only be resolved through a post-mortem examination, so as to provide a clue to the police as to the direction of their investigation,” the legal advice added.

The Ministry of Justice further stated that the police could either honour the family’s reported wish to proceed with burial without an autopsy or exercise their statutory powers to order the examination.

“It is therefore the view of this office that the police invoke their discretionary power to either respect the request of the deceased’s family or proceed with the post-mortem examination,” the DPP stated.

The recommendation comes amid growing public interest and conflicting reports over the release of Habila’s body for burial.

Her father, Baba Habila, reportedly visited a morgue in Ebonyi State to receive her remains ahead of a planned burial in Nok, Kaduna State, but declined to comment to journalists.

The family was also reported to have indicated that it did not intend to request an autopsy.

However, Habila’s body had reportedly not been released as investigators continued to consider the Ministry of Justice’s recommendation.

According to reports, Habila arrived at Umahi’s residence on June 26 alongside another woman identified as Anita Baski and was found unresponsive the following morning.

The case was initially reported at the Ohaozara Divisional Police Headquarters before it was transferred to the Ebonyi State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.

Minister of Works David Umahi later confirmed that Habila died at his residence, describing her as a physiotherapist seconded from the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences to the Federal Ministry of Works.

Umahi also disclosed that he had encouraged the family to consent to an autopsy to establish the cause of death.

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters, citing unnamed police sources, reported that investigators were examining aspects of Habila’s employment history and her relationship with the university and the Federal Ministry of Works.
