The Convener of the Initiative for a Better and Brighter Nigeria (IBBN) and President of El-Buba Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI), Prophet (Amb.) Isa El-Buba, has called for an urgent moral, spiritual, and political rebirth of Nigeria, declaring that the future of Africa is closely linked to Nigeria’s recovery.

Prophet El-Buba made the call at the “Alone With God” Solution Camp, Pai, in the Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), during a stakeholders’ conference jointly organised by IBBN, EBOMI, and the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Addressing political leaders, faith-based intercessors, civil society actors, and party stakeholders at the event, El-Buba warned that Nigeria had reached a critical point in its national history, stressing that continued delay and inaction could further deepen the country’s crisis.

“Delay at this time is dangerous, silence is complicity, and inaction is betrayal,” he said.

In his opening remarks, the cleric and social activist emphasised that national transformation begins with citizens rather than circumstances.

“Environment does not change people; people change the environment. Whatever happens to a people is ultimately determined by the people themselves,” he stated.

He commended delegates who travelled from different parts of the country to attend the summit, noting that the conference required significant sacrifice and resources.

“If this journey was about comfort or personal gain, I would not be here. There is no greater way to live than to fight for the present and future of a nation,” he said.

El-Buba disclosed that although he belongs to Nigeria’s privileged class, he deliberately chose to identify with the masses, whom he said constitute over 99 percent of the population living in hardship.

“I stepped down from the top of the pyramid to work with those at the bottom,” he added.

He further revealed that he had rejected financial inducements and political settlements from elites seeking his endorsement, insisting that his commitment remained with the Nigerian people.

“I resisted the offers so I could stand with the people and help recover the soul of our nation,” he said.

Taking a continental view, Prophet El-Buba noted that Nigeria’s destiny is inseparable from Africa’s future, adding that the nation’s rebirth would impact not only West Africa but the entire Black race globally.

“Across Africa, nations are watching Nigeria. When Nigeria sneezes, Africa catches cold. Until Nigeria rises, Africa cannot fully rise,” he said, referencing the late South African leader, Nelson Mandela.

The cleric also disclosed that he had held engagements with political leaders in the United States and would soon return for further discussions involving members of the U.S. Congress and other key institutions. He clarified that the engagements were not aimed at fundraising but at building strategic partnerships.

“I am not called to be president, but to midwife the birth of a new Nigeria,” he said.

Describing the nation’s current condition, El-Buba said Nigeria was bleeding economically, morally, spiritually, politically, and through widespread insecurity, attributing the situation to decades of leadership failure, weak institutions, and systemic corruption.

He identified four major challenges confronting the country: economic hardship faced by ordinary citizens, entrenched corruption, moral and spiritual collapse, and political leadership deficit.

According to him, rising crime and social instability are direct consequences of poverty, unemployment, and lack of compassion in governance.

“Corruption is not just stealing money; it is stealing hospitals, classrooms, roads, security, and the future of young people,” he said.

He stressed that elections alone could not rescue Nigeria, calling instead for a restoration of conscience and values.

“Politics alone cannot save Nigeria. What we need is moral rebirth and spiritual awakening,” he said.

Despite the challenges, Prophet El-Buba expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, describing the country as one of the most gifted nations in the world in terms of human and natural resources.

“Nigerians excel globally in technology, business, and innovation. The problem is not the people, but leadership and values,” he noted.

The stakeholders’ summit, which earlier held in Bauchi and continues across geopolitical zones, is part of a broader national movement aimed at mobilising Nigerians toward renewal and restoration.

“This is a defining moment in our national journey. Africa is waiting. History is watching. Nigeria must rise again,” El-Buba declared.
