Cleric Isa El-Buba, residing in Plateau, has disclosed his decision to withdraw support from presidential candidate Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 elections. In an interview on the ‘Mic On’ podcast with journalist Seun Okinbaloye, El-Buba expressed his disillusionment with Obi's lack of courage. He stated that he has redirected his support to Adewale Adebayo, the candidate from the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Despite acknowledging Obi's goodness, El-Buba believes the former Anambra State governor's shortcomings make it challenging to continue backing his political aspirations. Courage, El-Buba emphasized, is a crucial trait he seeks in a leader, especially during trying circumstances. "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," he explained. El-Buba maintained that Obi has no place in the Labour Party (LP) and should focus on a single endeavor.
