In a significant political prophecy, Satguru Maharaj Ji, the founder of the One Love Family, has projected a resounding victory for President Bola Tinubu in the forthcoming 2027 presidential election. The spiritual leader also foresees the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) securing wins in a majority of states across Nigeria during the next general elections.
The Prophecy and Its Foundation
Maharaj Ji delivered this prediction on Thursday, January 3, 2026, while addressing his congregation. The occasion marked his 78th birthday and 46th year in spirituality, celebrated at his village situated along the busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He clarified that his forecast was not mere speculation but was grounded in observable outcomes.
The cleric stated that his projection is based on what he considers the obvious achievements of President Tinubu's administration since its inception in May 2023. He pointed to the president's economic reforms, policy initiatives, and infrastructural projects as key factors that have positioned him for overwhelming public support in the next electoral cycle.
Praise for Tinubu's Governance and a Call for Respect
Maharaj Ji elaborated that Nigerians are becoming increasingly conscious of governance and are ready to back any leader demonstrating genuine commitment to national unity and development. He further prophesied that the year 2026 would usher in a period of prosperity for Nigeria and the broader African continent, characterized by renewed hope, collective progress, and stability.
This endorsement is not the first from the spiritual leader. In mid-2025, during Nigeria's Democracy Day celebrations on June 12, Maharaj Ji praised President Tinubu for laying a realistic and fair foundation for critical administrative and developmental growth. He called on all Nigerians to accord the president the respect due to his office.
Addressing Critics and Highlighting Distinctions
The Satguru also took a firm stance against critics of the administration. He urged the public to dismiss individuals he accused of attempting to distract the president from his national advancement agenda. Specifically, he criticized recent comments made by political commentator Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.
Maharaj Ji emphasized a crucial distinction between "President Tinubu" the office holder and "Bola Tinubu" the individual. He argued that regardless of personal opinions, the occupant of the Nigerian presidency deserves respect in his official capacity. He called on critics, including Baba-Ahmed, to observe this decorum.
Furthermore, the religious leader highlighted President Tinubu's efforts in driving economic growth and combating corruption. He extended a call for cooperation, urging other political figures like Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Rauf Aregbesola, Pat Utomi, and religious leaders such as Pastor Chris Oyakhilome to join hands with the president in the fight against graft.
This prediction adds a new dimension to the early political discourse surrounding the 2027 elections, blending spiritual insight with commentary on the current administration's performance and the nation's political trajectory.
