Port Harcourt, Rivers state - Prophet Abel Boma, a prominent Nigerian preacher who posts on X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @ProphetBomaAbel, has claimed he received a vision of an unidentified presidential candidate withdrawing from the 2027 election race.

In a message published on Monday, July 13, 2026, the Christian leader said he saw a candidate declare that he was stepping back from the contest entirely, pulling out even before completing his campaign.

Legit.ng reports that despite claiming to know who the individual is, Boma declined to disclose the candidate's identity, insisting the revelation would come naturally when the event unfolds.

"So who is this presidential candidate? I should talk? I should call his name? No. I will never call his name. Never," he wrote. "On that day, we all know who is the person."

Furthermore, the Rivers-based pastor also stopped short of offering any further details, including the timing of the withdrawal, the circumstances surrounding it, or the candidate's health status, which he had briefly raised as a possibility.

"What happened to him? I don't know. Was he sick? I don't know," Boma added. "So what are you saying? I still don't know."

Prophecy predicts surprise outcome for Tinubu

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Prophet David Elijah released a fresh message, saying President Tinubu may not have an easy path to victory in the 2027 elections.

Prophet Elijah, the senior pastor of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church in Lagos, made the prophecy in a YouTube video seen by Legit.ng.
