Prophet Ekong Ituen Forecasts APC's Demise Beyond 2031 Elections
In a striking prophetic declaration, Prophet Ekong Ituen of Christ Deliverance Ministries in Lagos has predicted the eventual collapse of Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following the 2031 general elections. The clergyman shared his vision on Easter Monday, April 6, 2026, through his Facebook page, drawing parallels between the APC's potential fate and the historical decline of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Detailed Prophecy on Party Dynamics and Leadership
Prophet Ituen elaborated that the APC would face severe internal leadership challenges reminiscent of the PDP's situation, which governed Nigeria for sixteen years from 1999 to 2015 under presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, and Goodluck Jonathan. He emphasized that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the central stabilizing force within the party, describing him as a colossus destined to secure victory in the upcoming 2027 presidential election.
The prophet stated: "Beyond 2031, APC will collapse. I foresee a replica of the present PDP's situation in the APC, as there will be serious leadership challenges. Sooner or later, President Tinubu will realize that he trusted many in error, as betrayals abound."
Internal Conflicts and Emergence of New Political Entities
According to Ituen's spiritual observations, the APC is poised to experience significant internal wrangling due to conflicts of interest among its hierarchy. He warned that many current supporters are motivated by selfish interests rather than genuine party loyalty, which could lead to future betrayals. The prophet foresaw the emergence of a new political party from within the APC as a direct consequence of these divisions.
Ituen added: "Presently, President Tinubu is the only rallying point of APC stability, while the majority of those decamping to APC are doing so for selfish interest and not for the love of the party. In my revelation, I saw and heard those singing Hosanna today in the party, shouting crucify him, crucify him in the future, due to personal interest of some key members."
Confirmation of Tinubu's 2027 Victory and Health Clarification
Despite the grim long-term forecast, Prophet Ituen affirmed President Tinubu's electoral prospects, stating: "It should be noted that President Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election as earlier predicted; only death can stop him." This prediction aligns with the scheduled presidential and National Assembly elections on January 16, 2027, and governorship elections on February 6, 2027.
In related developments, the presidency has recently debunked rumors about President Tinubu's health, with Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy, dismissing social media speculation. This clarification underscores the ongoing public interest in the president's well-being amid political discussions.
Context and Historical Parallels
The prophecy draws attention to the cyclical nature of Nigerian politics, where dominant parties like the PDP have previously faced decline after prolonged governance. Ituen's insights suggest that the APC may follow a similar trajectory unless internal cohesion is maintained. His message serves as both a warning and a commentary on the volatile dynamics within Nigeria's political landscape, where personal interests often overshadow party loyalty.
As the nation approaches the 2027 and 2031 election cycles, these prophetic claims invite reflection on the future of the APC and the enduring influence of key figures like President Tinubu in shaping political outcomes.
