Adeboye Appeals to Yoruba to Back Igbo Presidency in 2027

Renowned cleric spoke at a recent gathering, stressing unity, fairness, and national cohesion. He urged Nigerians to transcend ethnic lines and called on Yoruba to support an Igbo candidate in the 2027 polls. Attendees say he highlighted that the Southeast has never produced a president in Nigeria’s current democratic dispensation. He argued that backing an Igbo nominee would advance justice and strengthen bonds among the country’s major ethnic groups. “The time has come for Nigerians to act with a sense of fairness and brotherhood,” he said. “We must build a nation where every region feels seen, heard, and represented.” His remarks have sparked mixed reactions. Some praise the appeal as a bold step toward unity, while others insist leadership should hinge on competence rather than region. Analysts believe his influence could shape opinion as zoning debates intensify.
