Nigerian cleric, Prophet Malachy Nwedo Chekwube, founder of The Light of Angels Prophetic and Healing Ministry, has criticised South-East politicians, particularly David Umahi and Governor Charles Soludo, for repeatedly condemning former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Speaking during a ministration, Malachy questioned why South-East politicians were attacking Obi, while their South-West counterparts had not similarly condemned Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde for opposing President Bola Tinubu.

“Are they using their brain or if they are cursed? I have never seen South-West politicians condemning Seyi Makinde. Seyi Makinde is contesting against Tinubu. From the West, but their politicians have never by any day condemned Tinubu, but David Umahi and Governor Soludo are busy condemning Peter Obi.

“When you watch political history of the South-East, you will discover that they are against their brothers,” he said.

Describing Obi as a credible presidential contender, the cleric vowed to use his pulpit to advocate for his emergence as Nigeria’s next president.

“I am one of those pastors that will use this my altar to advocate for Peter Gregory Obi as the next president of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Amen.”

He also urged Nigerians to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and vote out politicians they considered unworthy of public office.

“Any governor from the South-East that have come out to condemn POB, they will use their eyes see how POB will be delivered in their polling unit,” he added.

Insisting that his support for Obi was not driven by tribalism, Malachy called on Nigerians across the regions to vote for a credible leader who could change the country’s political history.

“So that Bible says when a good man are in authority our people rejoice,” he said.
