The Spiritual Head of
Soul Revival Outreach, Nnewi, Prophet Ikechukwu Uzukwu, on Sunday said that
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s attempt to stifle opposition political parties is
an open invitation to revolution.
Prophet Uzukwu described
the latest move to deregister the National Democratic Congress (NDC), a party
duly recognised and registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), as an attempt to make President Tinubu the sole candidate in the 2027
presidential election.
The cleric noted that it
is unfortunate that the incumbent president, who has always claimed to be
fighting for democracy, has become anti-democratic.
“The move to deregister
the NDC is a panic move. Tinubu knows that Nigerians will no longer tolerate
electoral malpractices, and that is why he is trying to stifle the NDC so that
Mr. Peter Obi will not be on the ballot,” he said.
“President
Tinubu’s dream of becoming the sole presidential candidate in 2027 will soon
become a nightmare for him. The President has his plans, the opposition parties
have theirs, and the masses also have their own. Only time will reveal which
plan will triumph.
“President
Tinubu has failed woefully in all ramifications. Every aspect of governance has
been bastardised under his watch. What he specialises in is borrowing to loot
and looting to borrow. His plan to silence real progressives and clamp down on
opposition parties is an open invitation to revolution.
“A
revolution that will consume President Tinubu and his crowd of sycophants is
coming. It is always easier to give water to a monkey with a golden cup, but
the issue is who will retrieve the golden cup from the monkey. He lost the last
presidential election in his own polling unit, ward, and local government area.
That is a clear message from his own people to all Nigerians.
“If
President Tinubu’s son or a relative of any member of his inner circle were
kidnapped, their release would be secured within hours. Yet many Nigerians have
lost countless family members to bandits and terrorists. Those who are lucky
enough to be freed must have paid huge sums in ransom. Are we going to continue
like this? The obvious answer is a capital No,” the Anambra prophet declared.
“It is
now crystal clear that his own people who voted against him in Lagos State in
2023 were right after all. Nigerians desire free, fair, and credible elections
in 2027 to remove BAT and his government, as well as the All Progressives
Congress (APC),” he asserted.
Prophet
Uzukwu appealed to Western countries, especially the President of the United
States of America, to support Nigerians by ensuring credible presidential polls
in 2027.
“There
is unprecedented bloodshed in Nigeria under BAT, who has become a symbol of bad
news to Nigerians. Just as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faded with former
President Goodluck Jonathan, the APC will also die with the exit of the
incumbent president.
“Mr.
Peter Obi made several political mistakes in the past, but this is not about
him now. It is time for citizens to rise in defence of the nation’s future. The
fight is not just against BAT’s second-term bid but also to prevent a
third-term agenda,” the prophet insisted.
He added that everything President Tinubu criticised his
predecessors for has become part of his administration. “The situation calls
for change, and change is coming.”
