Lead pastor of the Believers Love World aka Christ Embassy, Chris Oyakhilome, has urged members of the mega church to vote for Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.

In a viral video, the pastor narrated to his members what was revealed to him by God concerning three presidential candidates presently contesting for the 2023 election.

Although no name was mentioned, Pastor Chris gave his members a clue about the third candidate’s saying “his name is in the Bible”.

Aside Peter Obi, Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party are generally considered the frontliners for the February 25 presidential election.

Mr Oyakhilome revealed that the ‘third candidate’ is “afraid of winning but doesn’t want to lose”. He then endorsed the third candidate and prayed for “God to give him wings to fly,” as his congregation jubilated.

Elaborating on his vision, the cleric said “The first candidate is not himself, he is under the influence of the devil, the devil was mocking, laughing, and scoffing at Nigerians. The devil is using him, it is a wicked spirit of darkness, a mocker.

He told his members that Nigerians “will have no country” and would be a “sold country” if the second candidate is elected.

On February 25, Nigerians will cast their votes for a desired candidate as the next president of Nigeria.
