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

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.
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.
“However let’s talk about those who are gathered formed the African Democratic Congress ADC, foremost among them is Malian Nasirh El’ Rufus, former Governor of Kaduna State, everybody know his antics and activities in the immediate past administration.

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.”

Tinubu’s Government Lacks Effective Communication Strategy - Babangida

Former Governor of Niger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, has said that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is performing well but lacks an effective communication strategy to relay its achievements to Nigerians.
Aliyu made the statement on the Thursday edition of Arise Television’s ‘The Morning Show’, while reacting to the outcome of a recent public accountability session held in Kaduna.
Aliyu, reflecting on the discussions at the Kaduna Forum, said the government is facing public dissatisfaction not because it hasn’t delivered, but because it is failing to tell its own story effectively.
The ex-governor said it is proper for political leaders in the North to make demands from Tinubu’s administration since the bulk of the votes that took power came from the region.
“Let the people understand what is happening on the ground. If by what we say that 63/64 percent of the vote came from the north, it is only logical that the north will be expecting so much from the government.
“But from what we have seen so far is that the government is doing well but they do not know how to communicate very well,” he said.

New Twist As El-Rufai Snubs ADC, Announces Another Party To Vote In Kaduna Bye-Election [ Video Trends]

Former Kaduna governor, Nasir El-Rufai, appeared to have taken a reverse from the coalition’s adopted political platform, ADC
This is as the former governor took to social media and asked the people of Zaria, Chikun to vote for another party in the Saturday, August 16 (today), bye-elections in the constituencies in Kaduna
Recall that the former governor recently visited Sokoto to canvass support for the ADC, while criticising President Bola Tinubu and the APC government.

Nasir El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna, has fueled speculations that he dumped the recently adopted coalition political platform, African Democratic Congress (ADC), as he called on the people of Chikun/Kajuru federal constituency and Zaria Kewaye and Basawa state constituency to vote for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
However, in a dramatic turn, the former governor urged the people of Zaria and Chikun to vote for the SDP in the Saturday, August 16, by-election, a poll which was meant to test the opposition’s strength ahead of the 2027 general election.
Recall that El-Rufai defected to the SDP after dumping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), but soon after joining the party, the SDP fell into a leadership crisis, and the former governor has been silent on his membership and allegations against him.
El-Rufai recently visited Sokoto on a mission to gather support for the ADC. He described his action as a patriotic one to rescue Nigeria from the grip of ‘nepotism’ and ‘incompetence’.
During his visit to Sokoto, the former governor attended two important events meant to sensitise the people and political stakeholders working to achieve the agenda of sacking President Tinubu and the APC in the next general election.
During his address at the event, the former governor lambasted the ruling party and called them ‘a failed, clannish, and visionless administration that has plunged Nigeria into deeper socio-economic misery’.
He declared that it was time for Nigerians to rise against the APC and accused the party of ‘broken promises and elite conspiracy’. He warned that any move to vote for the APC beyond 2027 would be a greater doom for the country.
However, in a sharp turn, the former governor, in a video posted on his social media page ahead of the by-election, urged the people in the constituencies where the poll will be held in Kaduna on Saturday, August 16, to vote for the SDP rather than the ADC he went to Sokoto to canvass for.

2027 Election: ADC Mentions Names, People Allegedly Working Underground To Destroy Party

Former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, has alleged that certain individuals linked to the Presidency are working covertly to destabilise the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general election.
Speaking in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, Abdullahi, who is the party’s National Publicity Secretary, claimed the plot was aimed at weakening opposition parties to prevent them from mounting a credible challenge.
His words: “It is the Presidency, the ruling government! They know that on their records alone, Nigerians won’t vote for them. They want to foist a fait accompli so that by 2027 no party willbe strong enough to challenge them for power,” he alleged.
Abdullahi recalled President Bola Tinubu’s remark at the National Assembly suggesting he was “enjoying” the problems facing political parties, including the PDP and SDP.
“If I were advising the President, I’d tell him to encourage opposition parties to get their acts together because democracy is stronger when there’s competition,” Abdullahi said.
He added: “But to say you are enjoying the crisis shows where this is coming from and what the agenda is”
On allegations by some state chairmen and former ADC presidential candidate Dumebi Kachikwu that a coalition group had hijacked the party, Abdullahi dismissed them as baseless.
“Kachikwu was expelled from the party in 2022. He was just a presidential candidate, not an official. His contract with the party ended after the election,” he said.
He explained that all 36 state chairmen were invited to Abuja , assured of retaining their positions until the next party congress, and raised no objections at the time.
“It is the same hands of destabilisation that destroyed other opposition parties at work. But they won’t succeed with ADC,” Abdullahi stated.
The ADC chieftain went further to dismiss speculations about the zoning of its presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections, insisting thep party iS focused on issues that directly affect Nigerians.
He stressed that the conversation about where the next president should come from is driven by political elites rather than ordinary citizens.
“It is the same poverty afflicting a man from Kano that afflicts a man from Umuahia or Damaturu,”he said.
He added that Nigerians want leaders who can solve their problems, not debate over regional origin.
He criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for “weaponising regions, religion, and ethnicity” to an unprecedented level.
Recalling past politics, he noted that in the Second Republic, voters were more concerned with party policies, such as the UPN’s promise of free education, than with a candidate’s background.
He compared the situation to the U.S., where parties internally decide whether to change candidates, as the Democrats did after President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance by rallying behind Kamala Harris.
The ADC leader insisted that the selection of a presidential candidate remains an internal party decision and warned against turning it into “a national referendum.”
He accused the APC of trying to frame the 2027 election around regionalism, ethnicity, and religion rather than governance and policy issues.
