“2027 will decide who owns Nigeria” – Pastor Odumeje urges youths to unite, tackles Tinubu’s supporters

Popular Anambra-based pastor Odumeje has called on Nigerian youths to unite ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging them to take an active role in shaping the country’s future.

During a recent sermon, the outspoken cleric said the next election would determine whether Nigeria belongs to a few politicians or to all its citizens, insisting that leaders must be accountable to the people.

“In 2027, Nigerians will decide whether the country belongs to politicians or to all of us. Nigerian youth, let’s unite together to bring a working government. We must be the ones to tell them what we want. Anyone entrusted with leading the people must know how to speak to them,” he said.

Odumeje also criticised those supporting President Bola Tinubu, accusing them of putting personal interests above the future of Nigerians.

He argued that public resources belong to every citizen and demanded accountability for borrowed funds, saying future generations would bear the burden of the nation’s debts.

“Those supporting President Tinubu are busy selling the future of our children for money and personal gain. The resources they are managing belong to all Nigerians. The money being borrowed is a debt that every Nigerian will have to bear, so they must give Nigerians an account of how those funds are being used.

“It is shameful that the government celebrates the construction of roads as though it is an extraordinary achievement. Even the coastal road they are celebrating could be overtaken by flooding once the rains come,” he added.

His remarks have since sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing mixed opinions on his comments about governance and the 2027 elections.
