From Cyriacus Nnaji, Lagos
Bishop (Dr) Anene Nwachukwu, General Overseer, RHEMA Deliverance Ministry, Southwest, Nigeria, has urged the Former President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to retire from politics.
Known as oracle 1, Prophet Anene Nwachukwu made the call at the Annual Convention of his church which took place at the international headquarters of the church at Iba, Lagos, on Sunday, December 5, 2025.
Bishop Anene did not stop at asking Atiku to drop his presidential ambition, he also pleaded with him to support a much younger and capable candidate like Peter Obi.
He called Atiku Abubakar, whom many have suspected to be a mole in opposition parties, a serial presidential election contestant, adding that his contesting 2027 would not be different as he would ultimately lose again.
Anene who did not hide his admiration for President Tinubu’s undeniable and outstanding reforms, advised Peter Obi and others to give Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu the support to complete eight years in office in order to complete his transformational governance.
Prophet Anene said, “Atiku should retire from politics, he has no business contesting, he has become a serial contestant, and age is not on his side, he should be able to support people like Peter Obi to come on board and at the same time, the current president, I believe, is doing his best to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians.
“Based on fact, I can’t stand here to begin to criticize him because Tinubu came into government and saw the rot caused by Buhari, and he refused to speak out because he doesn’t want to attack his friend. He should have told Nigerians that he met an empty treasury, because Buhari government was a disaster for eight years, and this man in two years, I must confess to you, has done a lot of projects that are visible, so many reforms, local government allocations, are now going directly to the local government, which was not done by other administrations, subsidy removal, states are getting more allocations.
