FCT, Abuja - A Nigerian prophet, popularly known as Baba Confirm J, has made a bold political prophecy about the 2027 presidential election.

Baba Confirm J claimed to have received a divine revelation on who holds the votes and the circumstances under which the incumbent president could retain power.

Prophet says Peter Obi owns votes

Speaking recently in a YouTube video, Baba Confirm J said God communicated to him that Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate and former Anambra state governor, is the authentic owner of the votes. However, the prophet added a significant caveat, stating that President Bola Tinubu could still emerge victorious should electoral manipulation occur.

He said:

"God said Peter Obi owns the votes. But if Tinubu rigs it, he (Tinubu) will emerge victorious."

Baba Confirm J on Atiku's chances

The cleric did not spare Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential flagbearer, dismissing any prospects of a successful run in plain terms.

Baba Confirm J stated:

"Atiku is going nowhere. He should go and sit somewhere. I said it in the name of God."

Legit.ng reports that the message positions Obi as the candidate the prophet believes holds legitimate popular support, while simultaneously suggesting that the integrity of the 2027 poll electoral process would be the decisive factor in determining the final outcome.

Nigeria's political space has long seen religious figures weigh in on electoral matters, with prophecies from various pastors, prophets, and seers attracting significant attention ahead of major elections. Baba Confirm J's latest declaration adds to a tradition of prophetic commentary that routinely generates debate among Nigerians ahead of polling cycles.

Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, set to clash

Legit.ng reports that Nigeria's general elections are scheduled for January 16, 2027, when voters will elect the president and vice president, as well as members of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Governorship and State House of Assembly elections will follow on February 6, 2027. Incumbent President Tinubu, a longtime All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, is seeking a second term.
