In a recent address about the 2027 general elections and the role of incumbent politicians, Most Rev Godfrey Onah, the Catholic Bishop of Nsukka Diocese, cautioned against manipulating the system or obstructing the opposition. Speaking on the significance of the upcoming elections, Bishop Onah emphasized that the sole advantage an incumbent holds is to demonstrate their past accomplishments and assert their promise to improve upon them.
As Nigerians prepare to elect new leaders, the Bishop stated that the incumbent's only edge lies in showcasing their previous work and convincing the electorate that they will do better. He urged the public to make their decisions based solely on the merits of the candidates, rather than engaging in system manipulation or obstructing the opposition.
Bishop Onah cautioned that no incumbent, whether a governor or president, possesses a guaranteed ticket. He reiterated that the ultimate decision lies with the people, and it must not be influenced by electoral fraud or intimidation. The cleric appealed to Nigerians to uphold democracy and prevent any politician from thwarting the opposition's right to contest in the 2027 elections.
