He made this assertion while addressing his congregation during a live Sunday service, noting that Obi, who is among contenders for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket, would perform better in the race if paired with a strong northern running mate.
According to Joshua Iginla, Obi would need a northern deputy to mount a strong opposition against the APC in 2027.
Joshua Iginla also advised Obi against choosing a vice-presidential candidate from outside the North, warning that such a decision could weaken his chances.
He said, “This is my political opinion. If we really want to give the opposition party a strong fight, put Peter Obi there, let him be deputized by any Northerner and then we will have a fight.
“Peter Obi, don’t, if you vice anybody, you have lost your political relevance. It’s better you go zero and leave them to do their things. The issue is so simple, you need patience if you want to go there”.
It was eports that Obi and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso are currently in talks for possible alignment as supporters project Obi/Kwankwaso ticket.
