FCT, Abuja - Abuja-based cleric, Apostle Leicht Neilson, has claimed that Peter Obi will win the 2027 presidential election, following what he described as a vision received the night before he made the claim public.
Neilson shared the prophecy in a Facebook post on Monday, September 7, 2026, saying he has sought what he believes to be divine guidance on Nigeria's presidential elections since 2007.

He recalled making earlier predictions about the emergence of now-late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, late Muhammadu Buhari, and Bola Tinubu as presidents.
Neilson also claimed that he had declared in 2023 that Obi would win Lagos state during that year's election.
On the 2027 presidential race, Neilson was direct:
"I saw Mr. Peter Obi winning the 2027 presidential election."
Obi warned of hidden election threat
However, Neilson's prophecy came with a significant caveat. He said the vision left him uncertain about whether Obi would hold on to a victory through the final declaration of results.
Strikingly, the cleric said he did not see the current president as Obi's biggest obstacle. Instead, he described an unnamed candidate as a more serious threat, one he said was "perching around him like a parasite." He urged Obi to take this unnamed figure seriously.
Neilson went further, suggesting the 2027 election battle could extend well beyond the polling booths. Even if Obi were declared the winner, he said the unnamed rival would take the matter to court, describing that legal challenge as the candidate's "last chance."

Neilson was careful to distance the prophecy from political commentary.
He wrote:
"I am therefore not presenting this as political analysis. I am presenting what I saw and what I am still praying to understand perfectly."
He closed the post by submitting the prophecy to God and citing Bible passages, including Amos 3:7 and 2 Peter 1:21.
Obi, who served as governor of Anambra state, resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on May 2, 2026, and was ratified as the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) on May 29, 2026. Nigeria's next presidential election is scheduled for early 2027.
