As Nigerians await the judgement of the Presidential Elections Petitions Court (PEPC), David Elijah, the spiritual leader of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church in Lagos, on Thursday, August 24, declared that "the court case is over".

Speaking on Possibility TV, Prophet Elijah said God is involved in the legal tussle concerning the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.

The tribunal has reserved judgement on the petitions challenging the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the last general election.

Recall the 2023 poll held on February 25 saw the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declare Bola Tinubu the winner of the election after polling a total of 8,794,726 votes.

Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party (LP), respectively, settled for second and third spots on the log after securing 6,984,520 and 6,101,533 votes, respectively.

Former Kano state governor and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, came in a distant fourth after garnering a total of 1,496,687 votes.

Prophet Elijah said: “I see the hand of The Lord stepping into the matter to settle that case.

“That court case is over.”

In an earlier message, Prophet Elijah advised Obi to “be careful not to fall into the hands of people who will deceive you”.

He added: “The reason why they (opposition) cannot stop you is because you have 'the forerunner', the prophet.”
