Apostle Bolaji O. Akinyemi, a prominent voice in Nigeria’s apostolic and prophetic community, has issued a powerful and deeply spiritual warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, declaring that the Nigerian leader is operating under divine permission—not approval—and must urgently align with God’s purpose or face consequences from heaven.

In a message released for immediate media publication and dated August 5, 2025, Apostle Akinyemi, describing himself as a nation builder, democrat, and servant of truth, revealed that he awoke on the morning of August 4th carrying a heavy burden—a divine word concerning Nigeria.

“On the morning of August 4th, 2025, I awoke with a heavy burden—the weight of the word the Lord once gave me concerning Nigeria: ‘By the sword of the scribe, the battle shall be won,’” he began. “It is this divine commission that has defined my life and ministry in the Apostolic for years—a call to nationhood through truth, and the transformation of Nigeria through righteous governance.”

Seeking clarity, he traveled to Camp Judah in Igbesa, Ogun State, which he described as being “within the Yoruba Nation of the South West,” to meet with “an Apostolic father and prophetic custodian of the divine intentions for Nigeria.” There, he said, “words were released too weighty for casual minds to grasp.” Reflecting on the political developments of 2023 and the outcome of prayers and intercessions made by the faithful, Akinyemi said he felt compelled to speak with humility and trembling.

He made it clear that this was not his own message, but one directly from God. “Today, as I mark another year in life and purpose, I come not with fanfare but with fire—a divine burden to speak what the Lord has said. This is not the word of man, but a warning from the Almighty God, who rules in the affairs of nations.”

Citing Romans 13:1, Akinyemi affirmed the divine origin of authority, yet underscored a vital distinction between God’s permission and God’s approval. “You ascended to the presidency not solely by strategy or political genius, but by divine permissive will. The Lord allowed it—for a purpose. But let no man mistake permission for approval.”

He warned the president that his time in office is not open-ended. “You were given four years—not to entrench yourself, but to restore justice, revive hope, and repair the ruins of a broken nation. Time is not your own. Your future, like that of all Nigerians, belongs to God. But you, Mr. President, will be weighed, and your fate decided by the scales of heaven.”

The apostle delivered a string of scriptural warnings, each one tailored to different dimensions of leadership that defy divine order. “Whatever you gather outside of God’s divine order shall scatter. ‘Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help… but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel.’” He added, “Whatever you tailor against the Lord’s design shall be torn. ‘Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.’”

Continuing, Akinyemi proclaimed, “Whatever you piece together against the nature of things shall wither. ‘The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it…’ And whatever you tie together against the democratic will of the people shall be broken. ‘Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces… for God is with us.’”

In a direct caution, he addressed any perceived or subtle intention by the president to extend his stay in office beyond constitutional limits. “Any veiled or open ambition to extend your tenure beyond divine timing is rebellion, not leadership. It is presumption, not obedience. Heaven did not call you for tenure, but for purpose. Ask yourself with sincerity of soul: Am I serving that purpose?”

He accused the current administration of presiding over a dehumanized population, reduced to a primal fight for basic needs. “Your reign has seen the Nigerian people—created in the image of God—reduced to animals in survival. They are dehumanised, disregarded, and driven to beastly extremes in their quest for food, fuel, and freedom. You preside over a nation bleeding under the weight of injustice.”

Invoking a divine verdict, the apostle declared, “The Lord declares: He will resist beastly rule, and all men who, in their pursuit of power, have become beasts over the human estate.” He quoted Psalm 49:20: “‘Man that is in honour and understandeth not is like the beasts that perish.’”

The message also included a prophetic insight into the 2027 presidential transition, revealing that “the Lord has said expressly: His man for 2027 shall be a man, not a beast—a man who shall reconcile ethnic nations into one tribe of men and women. A healer. A restorer. A rebuilder of ancient ruins.” He supported this with Acts 17:26, saying, “‘And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth…’”

In closing, Akinyemi issued a sobering call: “Abandon the path of personal ambition. Abhor the counsel of flatterers who feed your ego but not your destiny. Align yourself with Heaven’s timetable before it is too late.”

He warned of the removal of divine mandate: “Do not provoke the Lord to remove your candlestick. ‘He removeth kings, and setteth up kings.’”

The message, he said, is intended as a trumpet blast, not merely a birthday note. “Let this birthday message to you, Mr. President, be a trumpet blast, a call to repentance, and a reminder that: Power is not a throne. It is a trust. Leadership is not entitlement. It is service.”

As reactions begin to build across spiritual and political circles, this admonition may stir deeper reflections on the state of the nation, the role of spiritual accountability in governance, and the future of Nigeria’s democratic journey.
