Nigerian Elections: Abbas Describes Two Visions
According to the account read during the broadcast, which was posted on OWODE TV, Apostle Abbas said he has been given the ability to see Nigeria's leaders since 1999.
He claimed that on July 15, 2026, he saw Obi praying intensely with his team in a room the night before an election.
General elections will be held in Nigeria on January 16, 2027, to elect the president and vice president, members of the Senate and House of Representatives.
The statement attributed to Abbas read:
"Then, I was sobering and crying profusely. Then he (Peter Obi) noticed me and said 'come and round up the prayer'. He handed me the microphone. While I wanted to pray, the spirit overwhelmed me. Then, I started crying in the spirit while praying. Then I woke up. My heart was full of joy that finally Obi is our next president."
The clergyman added that a second vision followed on Monday, August 3, 2026, which he described as a confirmation of the first.
"Again, on the 3rd August, 2026, I saw him again in the revelation relating with me. And that became the confirmation," the account said.
Abbas Asks Obi to Stay Courageous
Apostle Abbas closed his statement with a direct appeal to the NDC presidential flagbearer.
"Please, help me tell Obi that God Almighty has ordained him the next president and he should be steadfast and courageous," he said, according to the broadcast.
Obi resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on May 2, 2026, and was ratified as the NDC presidential candidate on May 29, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
