Prophet Joshua Iginla of the Champion Royal Assembly has said only former presidential candidate Peter Obi can give President Bola Tinubu a tough fight in 2027.

Addressing his congregation during a Sunday service, Iginla stated that Obi only needs a northerner to be his running mate in order to achieve his presidential dream.

While Obi is vying for the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Iginla warned him against deputising any other candidate.

He said, “This is my political opinion. If we really want to give the opposition party a strong fight, put Peter Obi there, let him be deputized by any Northerner and then we will have a fight.

“Peter Obi, don’t, if you vice anybody, you have lost your political relevance. It’s better you go zero and leave them to do their things. The issue is so simple, you need patience if you want to go there”.
