Prophet Ituen Predicts Wike's Presidential Future

Prophet Ekong Ituen, a prominent Nigerian cleric, has predicted that Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, may ascend to the presidency or vice presidency of Nigeria within his lifetime. Ituen made this assertion in a Facebook post on September 28, 2026, describing Wike as "a formidable politician" and "an asset to Nigerian politics." He emphasized that his prediction was based on "spiritual observation" rather than political analysis and urged those at odds with Wike to seek resolution.

Ituen also advised Wike to pay attention to his health, although he did not specify the nature of the health concern. This prediction comes as Wike is actively involved in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's campaign team for the 2027 general elections, particularly in the Federal Capital Territory and Rivers State.

Wike has stated that his immediate goal is to secure a second term for Tinubu, making Ituen's long-term prediction a notable contrast to his current political priorities.
