Olugbemiga Olowosoyo, a prophet who prophesied that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would clinch the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has issued a rejoinder to his prophecy.
Recall that Osinbajo came third in the poll, securing 235 votes in the primary election won by Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state.
Confused at the result of the election, Olowosoyo said he went back to God in prayers to inquire about the reason for the twist.
According to him, God told him there was never a time He mentioned that the Vice President would win the APC primary, and chided him for being shallow in understanding.
“God told me, ‘did I ever tell you that Osinbajo would be president?’ And I did not know what to say in return. I now said somebody told me that Osinbajo would be president,” the prophet said.
“And He now asked, ‘does being the president and winning primaries mean the same thing?’ And He said, ‘you have a long journey to go with me as my oracle. When I say something, listen to what I said and focus on what I said, not on what you think.'”
Insisting that Osibanjo will become Nigeria’s next president in 2023, he urged the Vice President to continue discharging his duties well while he waits for God to turn things around for his good.
“Osinbajo was not meant to win primaries, he was not meant to contest at all. I will tell Osinbajo to go and be faithful to his job as Vice President. It is in being Vice President that he will become president,” Olowosoyo noted.
“If you are not Osinbajo, you will not understand what I said. But if you are close to Osinbajo tell him that I said so. Let him go and be Vice President to Buhari. The era of Buhari is ending very soon.”
However, the cleric, who blamed Nigeria’s woes for the past seven years on the church’s carelessness and prayerlessness, added that the prophecy needed prayers for it to be fulfilled.
He declared, “The fact that God said something will happen does not mean it would happen. You have to pray it into existence. Did you see Jesus? When he came to the world, he had to go and fast and pray for 40 days and night, praying for his destiny even though it had been prophesied.”
