Nollywood star Yul Edochie has urged President Bola Tinubu to stay focused on fixing Nigeria’s current problems instead of getting caught up in early talks about the 2027 elections. In a message shared on Instagram, Yul, who has openly supported Tinubu in the past, said Nigerians are dealing with serious struggles, especially the rising cost of living and growing insecurity.

He wrote directly to the president, asking him not to be distracted by political noise: “We’re still in 2025. People are suffering. The focus should be on reducing hardship and restoring security. These are the real issues.” He ended his post with a prayer for Tinubu’s leadership, hoping he stays guided through the challenges ahead.

2027 presidential hopeful aspirant, Peter Obi, has questioned the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), saying the situation doesn’t make sense to him. Obi explained that he would push for a political solution to Kanu’s case and other similar issues across Nigeria rather than allowing them to drag on.

Speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Obi said it was hard to understand why Kanu was still in detention over allegations like insulting those in power. When asked if he supports a political approach to the IPOB leader’s case, Obi responded, “Why is he still being held? It doesn’t make sense to me.

“Some say he used vulgar words… I haven’t seen it myself. But even if he did, it doesn’t affect me. If I’m president and people call me a thief or an idiot — as they already do — it doesn’t bother me. My job is to ensure people can feed themselves.”

He also stressed that the same approach would apply to similar situations across the country. “If there’s a bandit somewhere in the North East, I’ll go there and meet him. That’s how you create dialogue and say, enough is enough. After that, action will follow,” Obi added.
