Most Reverend Timothy Yahaya, the bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Kaduna, has urged the governors of the state to prioritize the areas of governance over their election rather than focusing on campaigning for re-election in 2027.
The cleric criticized political leaders for placing a premium on power retention over addressing the country’s numerous socio-economic issues, noting that it was too early to launch election campaigns just in the current administration.
“They started politicking before this regime was two years in power,” said one critic of our nation’s governance. And I want to make the case that let’s play down politics with the authorities. We are already campaigning for a second circle, so how can we win an election before it is already full? How did governance fare?
If it is possible, I want to plead with the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and INEC, and I want to do the same for all political activities. That ban should be lifted after nine months of the election so that those who are elected to lead this nation can deliver what is required.
“To be honest, I don’t believe that the lack of good governance and the presence of billboards all contribute to a positive development. Other civilized countries will perceive us as jokers in this country because of how insulting and degrading it is.

Bishop Yahaya also attacked opposition politicians who resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), branding them as merely opportunists whose actions were motivated by ego and not ideological convictions.
He urged politicians to ask themselves, “Do these politicians even know where they are coming from and where they are going?” I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that 70% of them are currently members of the APC. Therefore, there are the same individuals. Who are they, exactly? They are all opportunists, and they will eat anything from the National Cake.
