Prophet Joshua Iginla has released a new prophecy touching on President Bola Tinubu's administration and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi's political future.
The cleric, who heads the Champions Royal Assembly in Lagos, did not provide details of the specific nature of his prophecy or what it portends for either man. Iginla has built a following over the years for his end-times teachings and political predictions, though his forecasts have drawn both believers and sceptics in equal measure.
Prophets in Nigeria often release prophecies at the start of the year or at significant political junctures, positioning themselves as spiritual voices on national affairs. Some adherents view these predictions as divinely inspired warnings or guidance, while critics dismiss them as attempts to remain relevant in public discourse.
Iginla's latest prophecy comes as Tinubu continues his second year in office, facing mounting economic pressures and public discontent over inflation, fuel prices, and the naira's weakness. Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential runner-up, has remained active in opposition politics and has not ruled out another presidential run in 2027.
The prophet did not specify whether his prophecy carried warnings, blessings, or cautions for either political figure. His previous pronouncements on national matters have sometimes sparked discussion on social media, with supporters seeing validation in unfolding events while critics question the specificity and accuracy of such spiritual declarations.
Neither Tinubu's office nor Obi's camp has responded to the prophecy at the time of this report. The full details of Iginla's latest prophecy remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether the cleric will elaborate on his statements in coming days or weeks.
