As political conversations ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum, a Ghanaian preacher, Prophet Clement Testimony, has predicted that former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi could emerge as Nigeria’s next president.
The cleric made the declaration in a video circulating on social media, where he described Obi as having a significant opportunity to lead the country in the next election cycle.
Prophet Testimony had previously drawn public attention during the build-up to the 2023 presidential election after releasing prophecies concerning Nigeria’s political future. During crossover services held ahead of 2023, he stated that God had chosen a “neutral man” to restore the country, identifying Obi as the preferred candidate. He also alleged at the time that there would be attempts to prevent Obi from securing victory at the polls.
In his latest prophecy, the preacher said: “Nigerians, tell Peter Obi that his time has come. That man is your David, but something must be done. Three things he has to do to become the president of Nigeria. I have the word for Nigeria; the watchout came to me.”
He further revealed details of what he described as a divine instruction received during prayers. “This week, I was praying. The Lord said, ‘Tell Peter Obi to come and see you if he wants to become president of Nigeria.’ He needs to make some corrections. I told him four years ago, ‘The crown is for you, but the chair is far from you,’” he stated.
The prophet reiterated his confidence in Obi’s political prospects, stressing that the former Anambra State governor’s moment had arrived. “I am telling you, Nigeria, Peter Obi’s time has come, but I keep it in the fridge. Tell Peter Obi that his time has come,” he added.
According to the cleric, Obi must fulfil three specific conditions before his presidential ambition can materialise, although he disclosed only one publicly. He urged Obi to visit Ghana and pay a courtesy call to Ghanaian President John Mahama.
“When he comes, I will say the remaining two. Number one is that he should come to Ghana. He should go and meet President John Mahama on a courtesy visit. Prophetic code. I will tell him what President Mahama should do to him. When the man does that, the first gate has opened for Peter Obi,” the preacher said.
