Prophet Joshua Iginla of the Champion Royal Assembly has declared that only the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi can give President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, a tough fight in 2027.

According to him, Obi, one of the top contenders for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential ticket, only needs a northern deputy to give APC a strong fight.

Iginla, who spoke while addressing the congregation during a live Sunday service, warned Obi against deputizing 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”.

Obi and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso are currently in talk for possible alignment as supporters project Obi/Kwankwaso ticket.
