Amid ongoing reforms by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu across various sectors, Pastor David Alamu.of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Vineyard of Deliverance Abule Egba has called for calm and patience, assuring that the changes will ultimately bring relief and progress. In an interview with David Bolarinwa, Alamu expressed confidence in Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, affirming that his leadership is divinely ordained to complete the work of national transformation.
You prophesied that Tinubu will become The President. Can you take us through The prophecy?
The Bible says “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,” and I believe that deeply. Long before the 2023 elections back when Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was still a Governor, God revealed to me that he would one day become the President of Nigeria. It wasn’t just a personal conviction; it was divine insight.
So, when I later heard of his intention to run for the presidency, I didn’t hesitate to make it public: Tinubu is the man God has chosen to help restore and rebuild Nigeria. During the primaries, as the political atmosphere grew tense and uncertain, I released another message saying “Nothing can stop Tinubu from becoming President.” That wasn’t a political statement, it was a declaration.
Did the prophecy come with any form of warning or challenges that Nigeria would face during this administration?
The prophecy came with warnings as often with divine revelations. There’s a Yoruba adage that says, ‘Anyone who seeks success will face many challenges.’ Before Nigeria can experience the greatness we desire, we must first endure the struggles and challenges that come with progress. Like the children of Israel, who faced hardships and wandering in the wilderness before reaching the Promised Land, our journey is also filled with trials. These difficulties are not setbacks, but necessary steps in the process of transformation.
Just as the Israelites’ struggles were part of God’s plan for their eventual victory, so too is Nigeria’s path through pain a precursor to the greatness ahead. The challenges we face today are the pains of growth, the pains of greatness. While the journey may be tough, it is essential for us to emerge stronger. Like them, we too will reach our Promised Land, a Nigeria that is prosperous, peaceful, and united, as long as we hold on to faith and keep moving forward, relief will come.
Many Nigerians are complaining of economic hardship From a spiritual point of view, should they be hopeful?
I will like to answer this in two ways. From the spiritual standpoint and the physical. Spiritually, any believer will know that this is the coming to pass of the prophecy in the Bible that in the end of the world, there will be tribulations, when the coming of Jesus is near, there will be hunger and breakout of different diseases. All these that we are experiencing is just the manifestation of the prophecy in the Bible.
On the other hand, physically, we thank God for what is happening because everyone is now prioritising farming. Even countries that are more advanced are taking farming seriously. I was opportune to live in Israel and they prioritise farming, I believe that now that we are going into farming, by the end of this year we would be out of hunger.
If you look at it critically, the removal of fuel subsidy is a blessing to us as Nigerians. There are less fuel stations unlike before where anybody can just startup a petroleum business, and I can remember when Tinubu announced the removal of subsidy, in Cameroon they were protesting. In Cotonou, they were protesting, which means we are the ones supplying fuel to them.Our money is what they depend on. So all of these are what I believe will help Nigeria become better economically.
Have you received any prophecy on the 2027 elections?Will Tinubu be re-elected?
We all understand that we operate under a democratic system of government where anyone has the right to contest for political office. That’s the beauty of democracy. But as people of faith, we also know that it is ultimately God who appoints leaders. The Bible says promotion does not come from the east or the west but from God. When He places someone in a position of authority, it is for a divine purpose and God does not speak and then change His mind. He is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent.
God revealed that He wants to use Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a vessel for the reformation of Nigeria, and that process is already underway. Despite the challenges, he is still the man God is using in this season. That’s why I believe, without doubt, that come 2027, Tinubu will be re-elected, not by accident but by divine mandate to complete the assignment God has given him. And when that mission is fulfilled, God will raise up another leader to continue the work. It is not about one man; it is about God’s agenda for Nigeria, and that plan will unfold exactly as He has ordained it.

Should Church Leaders Should Take Active Roles In The Political Hemisphere of Nigeria?
Yes, like I’ve always said, everyone has a role to play. Prayer upholds a nation just as it upholds an individual. I strongly believe that one of the most powerful ways pastors and church leaders can influence Nigerian politics is through consistent and intentional prayer. We must lift Nigeria up before God — not just in private, but publicly and boldly. Even in America, you see the phrase “In God We Trust” on their currency. That’s not just symbolism, it’s a reminder that prayer and faith are foundational to national identity and strength. We need that same spirit here.
But prayer alone is not enough. As church leaders, we shouldn’t shy away from politics. There’s nothing wrong with getting involved, in fact, it’s necessary. If we truly want to see positive change in Nigeria, we must not only pray for good leaders but also raise and support them. We need righteous people in positions of power — people who will govern with integrity, compassion, and a fear of God. That’s the only way we can steer this country in the right direction. Faith and governance should go hand in hand.
What would be your advice to President Tinubu?
I would advise President Tinubu to focus more on strengthening key sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and road infrastructure. In agriculture, we need serious investment in mechanized farming and support for local farmers to boost food production and reduce imports.
On health and roads, our hospitals need urgent upgrades, and rural areas deserve better access to care. Good roads are also essential, they connect communities and drive the economy. If these areas are prioritized, Nigerians will begin to feel real, lasting impact.
