Tinubu’ll win 2023 Presidency — Cleric predicts
Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Prophet Coming of the Lord of Paradise The Last Day Church of God a.k.a. Deliverance Ministry for the Kingdom of God, has prophesied that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu will be the next president of Nigeria.
Prophet Coming of the Lord, gave the revelation while speaking to journalists at his residence in Otokutu, near Warri, Delta State, saying that the lord revealed so many things in an encounter on his recent sojourn to a prayer mountain.
The cleric who in 2019, prophesied that President Buhari will win, as well as the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, said Nigeria has credible men and women who can govern the country, but was quick to add that God has decided to favour Ahmed Tinubu because of his contribution to humanity.
The long bearded Prophet said,”I will tell you what God said concerning 2023 election. Like I prophesied before the APC primary that the man called Jagaban will win and I asked God who is Jagaban why are you talking about Jagaban?”
“The Lord said that he does not look at appearance but that He looks at acts. That this man ruled Lagos and made Lagos become a better place. That the grace He sees in APC, APC will win the presidency of Nigeria. And not only that, that all that he has suffered to make people leaders, He promised to make him president.”

According to the Prophet,”Now by the grace of God, the Lord said the election will be tough but that out of the whole thing, we will see result. We will see a leader and others will be opposition. The Lord said the youths should be careful about who they want to fight for because is He that gives power.”
“God now spoke about Jagaban and I asked who is he? The Lord said he is just a simple man. He is not looking for money because he already has money. God said he want to make a name, fame. That he will rule more than President Buhari. That people should not mind what Buhari did that he offends God that the power He (God) collected from Jonathan in 2015, no party can collect it back.”
On the possibility of a third force winning the presidential election, he said, “The Lord told me that Anambra State former governor, Peter Obi can be president as he did well when he was governor but it is not time. Peter Obi is a good man but it is not time for him to be President.”
“The Lord said he does not have the capability to picking up the Presidency. Even PDP, there is nothing wrong with the party but the Lord said, Jagaban has worked for the position. And God has said he must be, against all odds.”
“Concerning the aspect of tribe, whether Muslim or no Muslim, the Lord said I should tell them whether Christian rule, we are having Osinbajo and we could not hear his voice.”
Speaking futher, the Cleric who said that he has no interest in any of the political parties but only delivering the message sent him by God, as he does not prophesy for money neither does he prophesy to please men, said he also see a dramatic turn in Delta State in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) , Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
He therefore, called on members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State to call for prayers to avert a crisis that may tear the party beyond reconciliation, adding that the incumbent Speaker of the Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, must take a step further to fast and pray against challenges bigger than the one currently working against him candidature.

2027: Tinubu Reconciles With 8 Zamfara Lawmakers Who Dumped APC, ADC Defection Shelved
2027: Tinubu Reconciles With 8 Zamfara Lawmakers Who Dumped APC, ADC Defection Shelved
Eight members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly who recently resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have reportedly agreed to return to the ruling party following a meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The lawmakers, who had earlier dumped the APC amid internal disagreements, were said to have reconsidered their decision after meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The meeting, which reportedly took place on Sunday night, October 18, was facilitated by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, who led the delegation alongside a member of the House of Representatives, Aminu Sani Jaji.
The development comes amid speculation that the eight legislators were preparing to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), an opposition party that has been attracting political attention ahead of the 2027 general elections.
However, following the engagement with Tinubu, efforts are reportedly underway to address their grievances and persuade them to remain within the APC.
The lawmakers had announced their resignation from the ruling party in early October, citing worsening insecurity in Zamfara State, alleged injustice, internal divisions and the non-payment of their salaries and allowances.
Their departure had raised questions about the APC’s internal political situation in Zamfara, particularly as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.

Imo APC Defies Court Ruling, Insists Uzodimma Remains Senatorial Candidate
Imo APC Defies Court Ruling, Insists Uzodimma Remains Senatorial Candidate
The Imo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has insisted that Governor Hope Uzodimma remains its candidate for Imo West Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections, despite a Federal High Court judgment recognising former governor Rochas Okorocha as the party’s validly nominated candidate.
The party’s position sets the stage for a fresh legal and political battle over the APC’s senatorial ticket following the judgment delivered in Abuja on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
In a statement issued by its State Publicity Secretary, Onwuasoanya FCC Jones, the APC maintained that Uzodimma won the party’s senatorial primary and secured the nomination with the support of the majority of its members.
“The party wishes to state without any confusion that His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, remains the candidate of our party for Imo West Senatorial District, having won the primaries of our great party with the overwhelming support of the majority of our party members,” the statement said.
The party, however, indicated that it would examine the court’s decision before determining its next course of action.
“The party’s legal department shall study the outcome of a legal intervention in this matter and act accordingly,” it added.
The APC also urged its members and supporters to remain focused and committed to securing victory for the party across the state in the 2027 elections.

The party’s declaration came hours after the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove Uzodimma’s name as the APC candidate for Imo West and recognise Okorocha instead.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu, who delivered the judgment, held that the evidence presented before the court established that Okorocha won the APC senatorial primary conducted on May 18, 2026.
The judge consequently directed the APC to submit Okorocha’s name to INEC as its candidate for the senatorial district and ordered the electoral commission to publish his name.
Uzodimma was also ordered to stop presenting himself as the APC’s candidate for the senatorial election scheduled for January 16, 2027.
The dispute followed Okorocha’s legal challenge to INEC’s recognition of Uzodimma as the winner of the party’s primary.
In the suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1854/2026, Okorocha questioned the electoral commission’s decision to publish Uzodimma’s name despite his claim that the primary election results and monitoring records showed that he had won.
Okorocha filed the case on August 13, 2026, seeking an order compelling INEC to recognise him as the party’s duly nominated candidate.
During the proceedings, Uzodimma, the APC and INEC opposed the suit, presenting arguments and evidence in support of the governor’s nomination.
The governor’s camp maintained that Uzodimma won the primary election, with a representative of the party’s election committee claiming that he secured 230,464 votes against Okorocha’s 1,098 votes.
Okorocha’s camp, however, presented a different account of the primary election, including documents it said supported his claim to the ticket.
After considering the evidence before it, the court ruled in favour of the former governor.
Okorocha, who governed Imo State from 2011 to 2019, previously represented Imo West in the Senate between 2019 and 2023. His latest bid to return to the National Assembly has revived his longstanding political rivalry with Uzodimma.
Uzodimma, who is serving his second and final term as governor, is seeking to secure the APC ticket for the senatorial district ahead of the 2027 elections.
The party’s insistence that he remains its candidate, despite the court’s orders, leaves the dispute at a critical stage as the APC considers its legal options.
The final outcome could determine who represents the party in the contest for Imo West and shape the political calculations surrounding the district ahead of the 2027 general elections.

BREAKING: Court Sacks Uzodinma as APC Candidate, Declares Okorocha Winner of Imo West Primary
A Federal High Court in Abuja has removed Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Imo West Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections and ordered the recognition of former governor Rochas Okorocha as the party’s candidate.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu delivered the judgment on Thursday, October 29, 2026, ruling that evidence before the court established that Okorocha won the APC senatorial primary conducted on May 18, 2026.
The judge ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise and publish Okorocha’s name as the APC candidate. He also directed the party to forward Okorocha’s name to the electoral commission and restrained Uzodinma from continuing to present himself as the party’s candidate for the senatorial contest scheduled for January 16, 2027.

The judgment followed a legal challenge filed by Okorocha against the recognition of Uzodinma as the winner of the party’s primary. The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1854/2026, questioned INEC’s decision to recognise the incumbent governor as the party’s nominee.
The dispute has been marked by conflicting accounts of the primary election. INEC’s previously reported official result credited Uzodinma with 230,464 votes and Okorocha with 1,098 votes. However, Okorocha challenged that outcome in court, insisting that he won the primary.
The ruling represents a major development in the contest for the Imo West Senate seat, although the political and legal implications may depend on any further court proceedings.
Following the judgment, the Imo State chapter of the APC maintained that Uzodinma remained its candidate, saying its legal department would study the court’s decision and determine the party’s next steps.
The development leaves the party facing a dispute over who should represent it in the senatorial election, with the court’s directives placing Okorocha in line for the ticket.
The court’s ruling and the APC’s response have both been reported by Nigerian media outlets.
