Plateau-based cleric Prophet Isa El-Buba has clarified his decision to pull back his backing for Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential hopeful Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 polls.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
During an interview on Saturday with journalist Seun Okinbaloye on the Mic On podcast, the cleric noted that while he previously heavily mobilized support for Obi under the Labour Party platform in 2023, he has now shifted his allegiance to Adewale Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, for 2027.
El-Buba explained that despite viewing Obi as a good individual, he found critical shortcomings in his leadership style, particularly pointing to a perceived lack of courage required to lead a nation through tough times.
Reflecting on his reasons, the cleric stated:
“Peter Obi is a nice man. He is not a bad man. But there are certain things I saw and had discussed with him personally. When a leader loses courage, the first instrument of a leader in the midst of all trials is courage to take shots on behalf of the followers. When a leader loses that one thing, you lose me.
“I don’t think Obi is courageous. That’s an aspect of his weakness. Peter Obi has no business leaving LP and running here and there.”

Kwankwaso previously urged Atiku to drop his bid and back the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket for the upcoming election, pointing to Atiku’s age and health while assuring him of care should their opposition ticket secure victory.
In response, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka took to to call out the opposition for trying to negotiate the presidency before voters have a chance to cast their ballots in 2027. Morka condemned the move as blatant hypocrisy and political “horse trading.”
His post read: “Kwankwaso to Atiku: Step down for us … we will take care of you if we win presidency … “At last, the veil comes off … behold the whited sepulchre … they pretend to be saints on the outside but filled with stench of corruption and malignant hypocrisy on the inside … horse trading with the presidency they do not have, and will not have, by the sovereign will of Nigerian electorate, come 2027.”
Veteran Nollywood actor Olaiya Igwe has debunked rumors regarding a severe illness after a clip showing him in poor health surfaced across social media platforms.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The recording started gaining traction on Thursday, September 10, 2026, prompting panic among fans regarding his well-being.
Clarifying the situation, Olaiya stated that the video was merely a behind-the-scenes snippet from a film production spearheaded by fellow filmmaker Mr. Latin. In the project, he played the role of an ailing father, which viewers unfortunately misinterpreted as a genuine medical emergency.
While expressing gratitude to individuals who checked in on him, the veteran actor voiced deep disappointment over critics who rejoiced and anticipated his demise over the fake news.
Via an official statement on his Instagram page, Olaiya reassured his supporters and colleagues of his stable health status:
“I have seen some stupid set of people wishing me to die. Is it their father that will fall sick and die? And for those that are genuinely concerned, please relax. There’s no problem. I was only acting my role, as you all know, I am a versatile actor.
“It was an Oga Latin movie we were shooting, and one of the scenes required me to play a sick father. It went viral and has brought lots of concern to the general public, though some understood that I was only acting while some felt I was sick and have been checking up on me. And we have some too that were happy that finally their wish had come to pass on me.
“For as many wishing me evil, evil will be their portion. I am okay and there’s nothing wrong with me.”
