Because Peter Obi will not be the president of Nigeria in 2027 – Primate

Primate Elia Ayodele, leader of the Evangelical spiritual church ini (Iesc all over the world), categorically declared that Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate of the Labor Party, will not become president of Nigeria in 2027.

In a video shared message on Facebook, the important cleric rejected all hope of an OBI presidency, warning that even a overwhelming public support would not have altered what described as a divine decision.

“Peter Obi will never be president in 2027,” said Ayodele.

“Let there be a billion of Obidient followers, nothing will change.”

He said that Obi does not have the spiritual mandate to lead the nation and is instead guided by personal ambition.

According to the cleric, Obi is desperate to become president, but “God has not given him that power”.

Ayodele went further to say that if he were to get to power, Nigeria should have faced a greater turmoil.

“If Obi governs, this country will turn upside down,” he warned, adding that a government led by the former governor of the State of Anambra would only bring confusion and instability rather than the solutions that the Nigerians are looking for.

The statement aroused reactions through political and religious clubs, in particular among the supporters of Obi – known as the Obidients – who continue to support his candidacy in view of the general elections of 2027.

        Introduction  A free, independent, and vibrant press is one of the strongest pillars of any democratic society. It is against this background that most democratic countries  make constitutional provisions for a free press . Others even go further to enact specific laws to make affairs of governments freely available to the public. Currently, there are more than  130 countries in the world that have free press laws. They include Sweden, United States, France, South Africa and Nigeria. Nigeria did not only make  constitutional provisions in Sections 22 and 39(1) of the 1999 Constitution ( as amended) but also went ahead to enact the Freedom of Information Act  in 2011. Section 22 of the 1999  Constitution states: “ “The press, radio, television and other agencies of the mass media  shall at all times be free to uphold the fundamental objectives contained in this chapter( ie Chapter II) and uphold the responsibility and accountability of the Government to the people”  Section 39(1)  of same Constitution states : “Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference” ..  To complement these constitutional provisions, Section 1 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) states “Notwithstanding anything contained in any other Act, law or regulation, the right of any person to access or request information, whether or not contained in any written form, which is in the custody or possession of any public official, agency or institution howsoever described, is established.” while Section  2(2), states that: “A public institution shall ensure the proper organization and maintenance of all information in its custody in a manner that facilitates public access to such information”  Primary Purpose of FOIA  According to the Act, its primary purpose is to make information about public records freely available to every Nigerian in the public interest. …
