The Charismatic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
The President-General of the conference, Archbishop Leonard Bature Kawas, announced the endorsement on Wednesday in a video that has gone viral while speaking at the organisation’s 2026 synod.
Kawas said the decision was based on the group’s assessment of Tinubu’s administration, arguing that the President had not shown nepotism in his appointments despite the Muslim-Muslim ticket on which he contested the 2023 presidential 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.”
