Popular Nigerian Christian preacher and founder of Eternity Network International also known as Koinonia Global, Apostle Joshua Selman, has stirred reactions online after claiming that he received a revelation concerning the death of a high-ranking politician in Nigeria.
In a video circulating on social media, Selman said he had seen the politician “going” and people gathering to bury the individual.
“I’m seeing a high-ranking politician in this nation. His time is up. I’m seeing him going. I’m seeing people gather to bury the person,” the cleric said.
Selman did not mention the name of the politician, the political office held by the individual, the person’s state of origin or any timeframe for the event he described.
According to reports about the video, the preacher said he initially struggled with whether to make the revelation public but eventually felt compelled to speak about it.
He explained that his reason for making the statement was not to celebrate the reported death but to prepare and comfort the family of the person concerned.
“The reason why we announce this is not because we rejoice over whatever it is that is happening. It’s so that God will comfort the family, one, and then prepare the heart,” he said.
Selman further stated that, based on what he claimed to have perceived, the situation could not be altered.
“But there’s nothing that can be done. It’s time. It’s over,” he said.
The preacher also appeared to anticipate questions about his motive for making the statement. He said he was not attempting to attract attention or impress his audience.
“I don’t prophesy to impress. I don’t have that time for all those games,” Selman said, adding that the message had remained strongly on his mind.
“But the Lord has impressed on my spirit, and it will not let me rest,” he added.
The remarks have generated discussion among social media users, particularly because they came at a period of heightened political activity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
However, Selman’s statement did not identify any particular politician, and there is no basis in the statement itself for linking it to any specific political figure.
Reports on the video have described the statement as a prophetic declaration. Such a declaration represents Selman’s claimed spiritual revelation and does not independently establish that a particular politician is facing death.
