The Charismatic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
President-General of the conference, Archbishop Leonard Bature Kawas, announced the endorsement on Wednesday while speaking at the organisation’s 2026 synod.
Kawas said the group’s decision was based on its assessment of Tinubu’s administration, arguing that the president had not shown nepotism in his appointments despite what he described as the Muslim-Muslim ticket under which he contested the 2023 election and is expected to seek re-election in 2027.
He said, “He did not only appoint at the national level; he also supported the emergence of Christian governors to be the majority in Nigeria. He has stood with Christanity alongside his wife.”
