Tinubu an emperor, 2027 won't be free, fair - Bishop Onah [Video]

Catholic Bishop of Nsukka Diocese, Godfrey Onah, has labeled President Bola Tinubu as an emperor and warned that the 2027 general election may not be free and fair. In a video shared by former NHRC chairman Professor Chidi Odinkalu, Onah accused political office holders of aligning themselves with the President, including judges, the National Assembly, governors, and local government chairmen.

Onah questioned why these officials appeared to be operating on the President's mandate rather than that of the people, suggesting that Tinubu has become an absolute monarch who is not controlled by anyone or any forces. He further alleged that institutions constitutionally expected to check the President's powers, such as the judiciary and the National Assembly, have become aligned with his administration.

Onah expressed doubts about the possibility of credible elections in 2027, pointing to recent political developments as evidence that the process may not be free and fair.
