Pastor Giwa Says Only Atiku and Obi Can Defeat Tinubu in 2027 Election
The Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, has shared his thoughts on the 2027 presidential election, saying that only a joint ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) can truly challenge and defeat President Bola Tinubu.
Pastor Giwa believes that for the opposition to have a real shot, Peter Obi must be willing to step down and support Atiku as the presidential candidate of the coalition. He argued that while Obi has strong backing in the Southeast, Atiku has a broader reach across the country, especially in the North.
“In my view, if Obi insists on being the flagbearer, the coalition will lose,” he said. “But if he steps down for Atiku, the chances of defeating Tinubu become real. Only an Atiku-Obi ticket can shake the ruling party.” Giwa further explained that a Southeasterner like Obi wouldn’t get enough national support to win on his own, as he believes both the North and parts of the South are still not ready to back a candidate from that region.
He added that Atiku, if elected, would be more likely to hand over power to the Southeast in the future, describing him as more politically stable and nationally accepted. “Obi knows the reality on ground,” Giwa said. “He saw what happened in the last election. If he wasn’t open to stepping down, he wouldn’t have joined the coalition. He understands Atiku is more popular and politically experienced.”
According to him, if both men come together with the right understanding, they could form a strong ticket that resonates across the country and offers a real alternative in 2027.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
