What the Prophet Said About Peter Obi
According to Iheanyi, the signs pointing to an Obi presidency would become visible before the year ends.
“By November 2026, Peter Obi will be on everyone’s lips. Come December, people and nations will begin to extend their congratulations to him,” he wrote.
The cleric asked his followers to reflect on what he had previously said about the APC, suggesting his track record should give them confidence in his current position.
“Believe me, these events will unfold as foretold,” he said.
Furthermore, he claimed a 98% accuracy rate for his prophecies, adding that when his predictions consistently materialise, he places the success rate at 150%.
He added:
“Believe me, it will come to pass.”

Nigerian 2027 Elections Context
Legit.ng reports that the prediction comes at a time when Nigeria’s political space is growing increasingly active ahead of the 2027 general elections. Major parties and political figures are already making early moves to secure their positions before the race formally begins.
Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in May 2026 after resigning from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on May 2, 2026. He was ratified as the NDC’s presidential candidate on May 29, 2026. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is the presidential flagbearer of the ADC.
Iheanyi’s declaration adds a religious dimension to the already charged political debate over who will succeed President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
