Sunday, September 13, 2026 - Plateau-based cleric Isa El-Buba has revealed the real reason he stopped supporting the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking during an interview on the ‘Mic On’ podcast hosted
by journalist Seun Okinbaloye on Saturday, the cleric said Obi lacks the
courage he expects from a political leader.
He said he has moved his support to the presidential
candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewale Adebayo, ahead of the
2027 polls.
He added that he still considers Peter Obi a good person but
believes he has weaknesses that make it difficult for him to continue
supporting the former Anambra State governor’s political ambition.
According to the cleric, courage is one of the main
qualities he expects from anyone seeking to lead a country, particularly when
such a leader is faced with difficult situations.
“Peter Obi is a nice man. He is not a bad man. But there are
certain things I saw and had discussed with him personally. When a leader loses
courage, the first instrument of a leader in the midst of all trials is courage
to take shots on behalf of the followers. When a leader loses that one thing,
you lose me.
“I don’t think Obi is courageous. That’s an aspect of his
weakness. Peter Obi has no business leaving LP and running here and there,” he
said.
