Prophet El-Buba, who addressed the crowd, called on Nigerians to be politically awake as it was time for power to be given back to the people, even as he admonished Nigerians to be wary of politicians who are out to use them for selfish gains.

There was gridlock on major roads in Jos, Plateau State, on Saturday, as a massive crowd turned up for the Plateau Mega Rally/Fitness Walk and one-million-man solidarity march for Peter Obi who is seeking the office of the President in 2023 on the platform of the Labour Party (LP).
This is even as Prophet Isa El-Buba of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI) and a group, Coalition for Better and Brighter Nigeria, joined in the walk which started with prayers at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium in Jos.
Prophet El-Buba, who addressed the crowd, called on Nigerians to be politically awake as it was time for power to be given back to the people, even as he admonished Nigerians to be wary of politicians who are out to use them for selfish gains.

He stated that it was time to look beyond party politics and elect credible leaders in 2023 stressing that he was convinced Peter Obi and Yusuf Baba-Ahmed are the right men for the job and the candidature of Peter Obi from the Labour Party has restored hope to the common man and cautioned supporters against selling their votes.
While declaring the event open, Rev. Haruna Maidoki representing the Coalition for Better and Brighter Nigeria noted that the group has been going to the length and breadth of the country soliciting for prayer and preaching unity.
As seen in pictures and videos uploaded on Prophet El-Buba ‘s verified Facebook handle, hundreds of supporters wore green and white while some carried placards and banners with several inscription bearing Labour Party logo.
Prophet El-Buba wrote on Saturday, “We are taking back Nigeria.”
The post is apparently the cleric‘s open endorsement of Obi because the “we are taking back Nigeria” phrase has been one of the Obidient’s slogan.
