Joshua Selman Speaks About High-Ranking Politician
During the service, Selman said he was reluctant to publicly disclose what he described as a spiritual revelation because of its sensitive nature.
According to reports quoting the viral video, he said:
“I’m not a prophet of doom and I wish I didn’t have to say this, but 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 preacher did not provide the name of the politician, the political office held by the person, the region the individual is from or a specific timeframe for the alleged event.
Selman Says Revelation Was Not Meant to Cause Fear
Selman said his decision to disclose the message was not motivated by a desire to celebrate anyone’s death or create fear.
He explained that he believed the revelation was intended to allow the family of the unnamed politician to prepare emotionally and seek comfort.
“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 added that he believed the situation was beyond human intervention, saying, “It’s time. It’s over.”

Joshua Selman Says He Was Compelled to Speak
The cleric also addressed the possibility that the revelation could be interpreted as an attempt to attract attention.
Selman said he was not making the statement to impress people, adding that the message had remained strongly on his mind.
“I don’t prophesy to impress. I don’t have that time for all those games.”
He said he felt compelled to share what he described as the revelation after experiencing what he called a strong spiritual prompting.
Nigerians React to Joshua Selman’s Prophecy
The statement has generated considerable discussion across social media, particularly on X, where users have debated the meaning and significance of the prophecy.
Some users questioned the usefulness of a prediction that did not identify the politician, while others urged people to avoid speculation and focus on prayer.
Some online comments also attempted to connect the statement to current discussions involving prominent Nigerian politicians. However, these interpretations remain speculation, and no evidence publicly identifies any particular politician as the subject of Selman’s statement.
No Politician Identified
As of September 28, 2026, Selman has not publicly named the politician referenced in the statement.
There has also been no verified public confirmation that any particular Nigerian politician is the subject of the claimed revelation.
The distinction is important because the statement represents Selman’s reported prophetic claim, rather than an independently verifiable prediction of a specific person’s death.
Prophecies and Public Discourse in Nigeria
Prophetic declarations by prominent Christian clerics regularly generate public discussion in Nigeria, particularly when they concern political figures or national events.
The latest statement has attracted attention partly because of the political sensitivity surrounding the identity of the unnamed figure.
With the politician neither named nor otherwise identified, reactions are likely to continue as Nigerians debate the meaning and credibility of the declaration.
For now, the identity of the politician remains unknown, while Selman’s original remarks continue to circulate across social media and news platforms.
