Prophecy Misuse in Politics Could Destabilise Nigeria, Warns Ifeanyi Ejiofor

Nigerian lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor has urged church leaders to curb the rise of politically charged prophecies. He says this trend risks turning altars into political battlefields and threatening national unity. Ejiofor argues that true prophecy requires humility, holiness and reverence. He notes that some self-styled prophets now issue constant predictions about elections, appointments and party outcomes. Citing Scripture, he warns against prophets who “judge for reward” or speak without divine mandate. He says reckless political pronouncements inflame tensions and exploit vulnerable followers. The lawyer calls for urgent spiritual accountability. He insists the Church’s mission is peace, moral guidance and unity—not daily political speculation.
