reports that Nwebonyi maintained that even if another Igbo candidate enters the presidential race, the existing political structure in the country is not in favour of such an ambition.
According to him, many people in the South-East have already assessed the direction of national politics and aligned themselves accordingly.
The senator also expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will perform strongly in the South-East during the 2027 elections.
He argued that growing support for the ruling party in the region is driven by several factors, adding that voters have already made their political decisions ahead of the polls.
Nwebonyi said: “Peter Obi is coming at the wrong time. Even if our son comes to contest, it is very clear that the political permutation, as at present, does not favour an Igbo man. President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates will win the South-East come the 2027 general election. The reasons are abundant; Igbo people have seen it, and we have taken our position.”

Popular Nigerian TikToker Jarvis has lashed out at her boyfriend, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, over claims suggesting she is expecting a child.
News reports that the couple recently sparked pregnancy rumours after a video of Jarvis undergoing an ultrasound surfaced online.
However, during a live stream on Wednesday, Jarvis dismissed the speculation, insisting she could not have a child with someone like Peller.
In a viral video, Peller had hinted that Jarvis was pregnant with his child, saying, “My baby with Jarvis is coming soon.”
But Jarvis quickly shut down the claim, stating, “There is no baby coming soon, not for this kind of human being.”
She further added, “Don’t even pray about that one yet. You’re not organized. Until I started seeing changes.”
Peller responded by referencing a gift he had given her, saying, “Despite gifting you Benz?”
In reply, Jarvis said, “You can collect it back. The car is still parked in your house, don’t stress me.”
Meanwhile, Peller recently made headlines after he was asked to leave the Alake’s palace in Abeokuta during a visit.
The incident occurred during his tour across Nigeria, where he has been meeting fans and visiting notable locations.
In a viral video, a palace official appeared displeased with the manner in which Peller and his entourage entered the premises, leading to rising tension.
Shortly after, he and his team were instructed to leave the palace and they complied without resistance.
Harry Kane has tipped Paris Saint-Germain as “slight favourites” to defeat Arsenal in this season’s UEFA Champions League final, following Bayern Munich’s exit from the competition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that Kane scored in the 90+4 minute as Bayern drew 1-1 with PSG in the second leg of their semi-final clash. However, the late equaliser was not enough to overturn the 5-4 first-leg defeat in Paris, which sealed Bayern’s elimination.
The final is scheduled to take place in Budapest on May 30, with Kane believing the French champions hold a narrow advantage heading into the decisive match.
“We can win the double,” he told Sky Sports Germany. “In my opinion, PSG are slight favourites in the final.”
Despite Bayern’s disappointment, Kane still made Champions League history. His stoppage-time strike made him only the second player ever to score in six consecutive knockout stage matches in the competition, equalling a record previously set by Cristiano Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid.
His scoring run included matches against Atalanta, Real Madrid, and PSG, although Bayern’s elimination brought the streak to an end before the final.
The England captain will now continue his search for a first European trophy, although he still has domestic silverware in sight after Bayern secured the Bundesliga title. The club is also competing for the DFB-Pokal, where they will face VfB Stuttgart in the final.
Individually, Kane has enjoyed a remarkable season, registering 55 goals and seven assists in 48 appearances across all competitions. He is also closing in on the Bundesliga Golden Boot and currently sits second in the Champions League scoring charts behind Kylian Mbappé.
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Segun Showunmi has said he believes the 2027 presidential election will ultimately be a contest between President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on Thursday during an interview on News Central Television, Showunmi argued that the race for the presidency is increasingly shaping up around the two political heavyweights.
According to him, Peter Obi has not demonstrated enough substance on key national issues to convince him of his presidential readiness.
“In terms of who can lead the country, it is between Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, and one will obviously beat the other. The 2027 presidential contest is shaping up mainly between Tinubu and Atiku,” he said.
Showunmi noted that he has been closely observing the major contenders and listening carefully for practical solutions to Nigeria’s challenges.
He added that his past experience as Atiku Abubakar’s spokesperson gives him unique insight into the former vice president’s capabilities and policy depth.
“I am cleverly and carefully listening to the candidates, and I am eagerly awaiting solutions. I can dash Atiku some headroom because, don’t forget, I was his spokesperson two times back to back. So there are things I know that reside in his brain and his heart that he has not even told people or the people that are around him,” he stated.
Reflecting on Nigeria’s political direction since 2019, Showunmi said he has paid close attention to ongoing governance efforts, reforms, and broader national restructuring.
However, he was highly critical of Peter Obi, insisting that he has not heard any clear position from the former Labour Party presidential candidate on critical issues such as security and national stability.
“In the case of Peter Obi, I see absolutely zero. Let me repeat, I see absolutely nothing. I’ve never heard him on security. I’ve not even heard him say anything on social stabilization of the country,” he said.
