2027: We dumped Peter Obi for Tinubu – Charismatic Bishops

The Charismatic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, under the leadership of Leonard Kawas, has explained why its group of clerics switched support from the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Kawas, in an interview with Channels Television, said he supported Obi against Tinubu in 2023.

According to the cleric, he and his group believe President Tinubu is on the right track, which is why they decided to back his re-election bid.

“Well, in 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was contesting against Peter Obi, but I chose Peter Obi. If it was for convenience, I would have chosen Tinubu, but I did not in 2023. It is my fundamental human right. Based on the issues on the ground and the leading of the Spirit, I and my group are supporting President Tinubu for 2027 because we believe he is on the right course. He will definitely take Nigeria to very high heights in all ramifications,” he said.
