Tribunal: Only Way Bola Tinubu Will Be Removed, Popular Pastor Reveals
A popular Port Harcourt-based pastor, Prophet Abel Tamunominabo Boma, has said that if disgruntled Nigerians continue to condemn President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he will end up spending his complete term in office.
Pastor Boma, who spoke in a video posted on his official YouTube page, said granted that a significant section of Nigerians continues to attack President Tinubu, “he will win” at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
The cleric said prophecy revealed to him from God shows it would be difficult to sack President Tinubu from office.
According to him, “God said if you will love him and not condemn him, I, the Lord, will remove him from the sin, because I have given him a seat to sit down. ‘I do not think as people thinketh’. I am your God, for I have not given you the power of judgement against my people – Muslims or Christians, But I have given you the power, the capacity to love.
“You will do nothing in the court, he will rule, he will win.
“The Lord said if your hatred keeps coming, I will reserve him, I will preserve him, I will protect him.”
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on March 1 declared Tinubu winner of the presidential election held on February 25, 2023.
The electoral office said Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), scored 8,794,726 votes to defeat Messrs Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, who polled 6,984,520 and 6,101,533 votes, respectively.
However, Atiku and Obi’s supporters have disputed the presidential election in Nigeria and the two main opposition figures are hopeful the final court verdict will swing in their favour.
There are still several Nigerians who believe the incumbent leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will be removed by the court.
In their respective petitions, the opposition alleged widespread irregularities and cheating in the election.
But Pastor Boma’s prophecy would seem to back President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
