2027: Apostle Orokpo Urges Nigerians to Vote Out Incompetent Leaders

The founder of Encounter Jesus Ministry International, Michael Orokpo, has called on Nigerians to vote out incompetent leaders in future elections.

Orokpo made the appeal during a recent sermon at his church while reacting to the ongoing wave of killings and abductions by terrorists across the country.

The cleric urged his congregation to adopt self-defence measures during attacks and described the 2027 elections as a critical opportunity for citizens to elect leaders capable of addressing the country’s long-standing security challenges.

He, however, expressed concern that voters may still prioritise tribal sentiments over competence, noting that many Nigerians often ignore guidance from spiritual leaders during elections.

He said, “Hundreds of people die in Nigeria but all we are interested in is optics. Most children of the leaders have not come into this country for several years now.

“When elections come, they will give you N2000 and both you and your children will remain where you are. You are not fighting to build a nation, you collect peanuts and they leave you until after four years then they come back again.

“I hear people saying when things go like this, speak out. This is not the time to speak out. The problem is that you don’t even hear. We speak out during elections.

“When those leading you spiritually say this is where you should go, you don’t hear. You became tribalistic but when they are killing people they don’t care about your tribe.

“Election is still coming, we will talk and you will still say it’s your tribe. Enough is enough, prepare for 2027. While you are praying and defending yourself, be alive to see them voted out”.
