Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma, popularly known as Ebube Muonso and founder of the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry in Uke, Anambra State, warned Nigerians that the 2027 general elections could be fraught with challenges, urging the nation to look to God for guidance.
Speaking to journalists at Blessed Iwene Tansi Parish in Umudioka, Dunukofia Local Government Area, Obimma said the country needs a leader who truly understands the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. “I am close to the masses, unlike the politicians. I stand a better chance of telling the politicians the condition of the masses,” he said.
He added that his daily interactions with citizens give him insight into their economic difficulties, a perspective he believes politicians lack. “Nigeria is finished; our politicians have destroyed this country,” the priest said, calling for a leader who can salvage the situation.
“I know that next year’s election will not be easy, but with God all things are possible. It is very difficult to remove an incumbent because he has the security paraphernalia which are under his control and he also has access to the country’s finances. Human beings may have all these, but God has the final say. That is our fate and confidence that God is still in control,”
Obimma urged voters not to lose hope amid concerns about the credibility of the electoral process. He noted growing disillusionment, with some citizens doubting that their votes would count even if their preferred candidates won. Yet he maintained that Nigerians should still exercise their franchise, reminding them that political power ultimately rests with God.
He concluded that Nigerians already know which candidates are most qualified to lead the country toward greatness and should make their choices accordingly.
