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.
Since Uber exited Nigeria, rumours have been circulating over why the company left the country. One of the claims suggested that FAAN was part of the reason for the exit.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has now addressed the rumours and claims of its involvement in Uber’s decision to leave Nigeria.
FAAN said it could not speak for Uber’s decision, noting that the company likely had its own economic and regulatory considerations for leaving Nigeria.
FAAN’s Managing Director, Olubunmi Kuku, said “I can’t speak to Uber’s exit from Nigeria. I am sure they have their own economic and regulatory decisions as to why they chose to exit.”
Governor of Akwa Ibom, Pastor Umo Eno, reflected on a career choice he made when he had no choice back then.
The governor recalled how he made not less than ₦10 million in a month from selling bread and akara.
He stated “I started selling Akara and bread. Back then, I was doing Akara Burger — we opened the bread and put Akara inside for you. I made not less than ₦10 million in a month.”
Many Nigerians reacted and wondered if his reflection was in response to what the First Lady advised Nigerians earlier about selling corn.
Uber makes headlines in Nigeria as it announces that it is leaving the country. The transportation and logistics business has been in operation in Nigeria since 2014 and suddenly announced its exit on September 2, 2026.
This started with users receiving a message from the team stating that the company would be leaving Nigeria, and the announcement quickly began trending as many Nigerians started talking about Uber’s exit.
Uber shared “We are writing to share some difficult news. After a thorough review of our business, we have made the tough decision to wind down our operations in Nigeria, effective 2 September 2026.
“This wasn’t a decision we made lightly, because it will have a real impact on our teammates and friends who have worked hard for Uber. It’s important to say that these changes are about how we’re organised and what we’re prioritising, not about anyone’s contributions to Uber, which we will always value,” Khosrowshahi said.
