Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma, known as Ebube Muonso, has said he is worried about whether the 2027 general elections will be credible.
He said Nigerians are now looking to God to step in.
The Catholic priest, who founded Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry in Uke, Anambra State, spoke to reporters at Blessed Iwene Tansi Parish in Umudioka, Dunukofia Local Government Area.
He said he stays close to ordinary people, so he understands their hardships better than politicians do.
He said the country is in a bad state because of its politicians and prayed that God will send a leader who can turn things around.
He also said it will be hard to unseat an incumbent, since sitting leaders control security forces and state money.
Even so, he said God has the final say.
He urged Nigerians not to give up and to still go out and vote.
He said many people doubt their votes will count, but he encouraged them to choose the candidates they believe are best for the country.
