Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of LoveWorld Incorporated (Christ Embassy), says he has received a spiritual revelation about three leading presidential candidates ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. In a viral video shared online, Oyakhilome tells his congregation that, despite having “positive thoughts” and respect for the candidates, he believes he must speak about what he saw “in the spirit.” He describes the first candidate as being associated with what he calls a “devil’s spirit,” a “wicked spirit of darkness,” and a “mocker.” He also says the spirit referred to the candidate as “jackal,” which he explains as meaning a trickster or swindler acting through deception, and he links the interpretation to dictionary research. For the second candidate, Oyakhilome says the spirit warns that if that person is elected into office, Nigeria would have “no country.” For the third candidate, he says the spirit shows fear—fear of losing, and being “almost scared of winning.” Oyakhilome also says he will not name the first two candidates, while saying the third candidate’s name appears in the Bible.
