2027: John Momoh warns politicians against divisive rhetoric

Channels Media Group chairman John Momoh urged political parties and supporters to avoid ethnic and religious rhetoric ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. Speaking at a lecture in Yola, Adamawa State, he warned that such appeals, along with false allegations and manipulated videos, could deepen mistrust and threaten national unity. Momoh called on leaders, the media and citizens to correct misinformation and explain economic indicators in light of household realities. He cited real GDP growth of 4.2% in the first half of 2026 and annual inflation falling to 14.63% in September, noting that slower inflation does not mean prices have fallen.
