Prophet Ekong Ituen of the Prophet Ekong Ituen Ministries has prophesied that President Bola Tinubu will secure victory in the 2027 presidential election. The prophecy, shared on his Facebook page and seen by Legit.ng on Friday, October 16, 2026, directly addresses the leading opposition candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
Prophet Ituen's Divine Vision for 2027
In his message, Prophet Ituen claimed a divine vision revealed Tinubu's triumph. He wrote: "Stop wasting your time and money, Tinubu has already won in the spiritual realm. I am not speaking for him, but that is what I saw in the spiritual realm. It is the spiritual that controls the physical. Only death can stop him!"
The Lagos-based cleric had previously predicted Tinubu's victory in the 2023 election, which came to pass. This track record adds weight to his latest claim among his followers.
Background: Tinubu's 2023 Win and Reforms
Tinubu, 74, won the February 2023 presidential vote, defeating Atiku and Obi. His two main rivals unsuccessfully challenged the result in court, alleging vote rigging. Tinubu has maintained that he won fairly.
Since taking office, Tinubu's reforms have drawn praise from credit rating agencies, foreign investors, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, critics argue these measures have triggered one of Nigeria's worst cost-of-living crises in recent memory.
Opposition's Stance and Constitutional Limits
Atiku, now of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), contend that nearly 12 years of APC rule have left Africa's most populous country poorer, more indebted, and no safer than in 2015 when the party came to power under late President Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC defends its policies as necessary to reverse years of state intervention in the economy. Under Nigeria's constitution, presidents can serve a maximum of two four-year terms, making 2027 a potential final term for Tinubu.
Contrasting Prophecy for Peter Obi
In a separate prophecy, Reverend Solomon Eliyah of the Throne of Eliyah's Ministry in Abia State predicted Obi would secure 70 per cent of the total votes in the 2027 election. Rev. Eliyah also projected the results would face legal challenges, stating he saw the outcome being "announced in the court."
These conflicting prophecies highlight the uncertainty surrounding the 2027 race. The article serves as a commentary on prophetic claims for informational purposes, and readers are encouraged to form their own conclusions.
