Fayose Urges Nigerians to Seek Divine Intervention Ahead of 2027 Elections

Isaac Fayose, a businessman and internet celebrity, questions whether the change of government that some Nigerians are calling for can be accomplished through the electoral process, claiming that only divine intervention can change the current political course.

In response to the results of the recent Federal Capital Territory area council elections, Fayose made the comments in a post that was posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) won most of the chairmanship posts in the council elections.

But according to opposition leaders, the exercise was tainted by voter intimidation, violence, and vote buying.

In response to the news, Fayose voiced his disquiet about upcoming elections and criticized the voting process.

“Electoral irregularities and malfeasance abound at INEC. I find it amusing that any Nigerian would be fooled by yesterday’s Abuja local government election,” he tweeted.

The billionaire went on to say that the FCT election’s result might be similar to those of upcoming national surveys.

He said, “The results of yesterday’s Abuja local government election will not really differ much from the results of the upcoming presidential election.”

When Nigerians are unhappy with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, he advised them to turn to spiritual guidance instead of depending only on the democratic process.

“Any Nigerian who is dissatisfied with the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led APC government should use this Lenten season to seek God’s intervention for Nigeria and beg God to divinely remove APC because, as it stands today, the votes of the Nigerian electorate are incapable of terminating or dislodging them from office in 2027,” Fayose wrote.

In spite of his criticism, Fayose concluded his speech with the words, “It’s well with Nigeria and Nigerians.” Thank you, IJN.
