The senatorial ambition of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Ebonyi North Senatorial District, Hon. James Nwogha Nwite, has received a dramatic prophetic endorsement from the Spiritual Leader of Ezza-Ofu Inyimagu Adoration Ground, Senior Prophet EbubeJesus Emmanuel, who reportedly declared him a winner ahead of the 2027 general election.
The cleric, who made the declaration during Nwite's visit to the adoration ministry in Ezza-Ofu Inyimagu, Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, reportedly described the politician as God's chosen candidate for the senatorial seat.
Nwite, who disclosed this while interacting with journalists in Abakaliki on Saturday, said the encounter occurred last Monday night when he visited the prayer ground alongside his supporters to seek divine guidance over his political aspiration.
He expressed surprise at the large congregation at the ministry, describing the turnout as remarkable and noting that gaining access to the cleric amid the crowd was initially difficult.
According to him, the prophet, who continued his ministration into the following morning, suddenly announced that there was a man with a great political ambition in the congregation and subsequently moved towards where he was seated.
Nwite said the cleric invited him to the altar, where he proceeded to make prophetic declarations concerning his political ambition and prospects in the forthcoming senatorial election.
He explained that the prophet subsequently introduced what he described as a spiritual test to establish whether his aspiration enjoyed divine backing.
Recounting the incident, Nwite said the cleric brought out a Bible and instructed him to move some distance away from the altar, explaining that he would throw the holy book towards him.
According to the senatorial candidate, the prophet declared that catching the Bible would signify divine endorsement of his political aspiration, while failure to catch it would suggest otherwise.
Nwite said he successfully caught the Bible when it was thrown towards him, an incident he interpreted as a significant moment in the spiritual encounter.
He further disclosed that the prophet subsequently raised his campaign poster, attracting the attention of worshippers and transforming the atmosphere at the prayer ground into one characterised by political excitement and expressions of support.
The cleric was also said to have handed the Bible to him and declared: "Go and celebrate in advance; you are a winner."
Nwite described the encounter as a remarkable spiritual experience, expressing confidence in his political journey and the prospects of his ambition to represent Ebonyi North Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
The Ezza-Ofu Inyimagu Adoration Ground, located in Izzi Local Government Area, is presided over by Prophet EbubeJesus Emmanuel, whom Nwite described as a highly anointed cleric whose ministry attracts large congregations.
The development came as political activities and consultations gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general election, with aspirants and political parties intensifying efforts to mobilise support across Ebonyi State.
However, the cleric's pronouncement represents a religious prophecy and should not be construed as a determination of the outcome of the forthcoming election, which will ultimately be decided by voters through the democratic process.
