Failed prophecies: Prophets who predicted Atiku would defeat Buhari

Many Nigerian pastors and prophecies are like Siamese twins. There is hardly any salient issue they don’t make prophesy on. But most times, the fabulous predictions, usually attributed to inspiration from God, are always inaccurate.

The last presidential election received several unsolicited prophecies which particularly targeted President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Though the predictions appeared scary and laughable, they later turned out to be wide of the mark.

Below, we bring to you five prophets who predicted the result of the 2019 presidential election wrongly:

1. Prophet Udoka Daniel Okechukwu;

In December 2018, An Anglican church prophet, Udoka Okechukwu, prophesized that Atiku Abubakar of the PDP will defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 election.

Udoka said: “I am privileged to watch it again. The least person not expected will take the position. Thank God the person is coming closer.

And he is no one else if not Atiku. “And God said that Atiku will be better than the four administrations before him put together. “He will use him to bring a new Nigeria.

He will use him to start the good work. Any hands that will resist the young man from entering there might not live to see tomorrow.”

2. Prophet Isa El-Buba

On February 12, 2019, few days to the presidential election, the General Overseer of Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries Int’l (EBOMI), Prophet El-Buba said President Buhari will lose the election.

El-Buba went futher to say President Buhari will not get up to 50% of the votes in the north and hardly get 25 percent in the south-east

He said: “If you recall, what happened in 2015, President Buhari rode on state of the nation. “The truth of the matter is the entire North gave a block vote to Mr.

President, the South-West also gave him strong votes. But this time around, the North itself, Buhari will not get 50 percent of the votes and in the South-West he will not get more than 45 percent of the votes there.

“And in the South-East, he will hardly get 20 percent of the votes, also in the South-South probably 20 percent; while in the North-Central lets say 45 percent.

“In Kano, where he got his highest votes, he cannot get more than 50 percent, also in Kaduna especially with the attitude of the present governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai, with the Shii’te movement, surely he not going to get more than 40 percent of the votes in the state.”

3. Prophet Wale Olagunju

He said: “Let me congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari for winning the ticket of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and let me also make it clear to him that he will lose to Atiku Abubakar. Let me also congratulate Atiku in advance because he will win the next presidential election come 2019. Let me say, as a matter of fact, that Buhari does not need an Alfa or prophet to deceive him that he would win the election, for as God lives, he would lose.”

4. Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse

The General Overseer of Freedom for all Nations Outreach (FANO), Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse‎ warned President Buhari not to bother contesting for second term.

Akinbodunse said: “Please Nigerians, warn Buhari that he is going beyond his boundaries. The Lord said his tenure is once, not twice.”

5. Primate. E.O. Akeju

In April 2018, Primate E. O. Akeju of New Holy Messiah Church in Ilasamaja, Lagos state, said that Atiku Abubakar would emerge as Nigeria’s next president.

Akeju said: “God said President Muhammadu Buhari will be disgraced just like his predecessor if he re-contests.”

6. Apostle Johnson Suleiman

In the number 30 of his 50 prophecies for 2019 released last December, the General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, said, “I saw most eastern states won by the APC at the national level.”

By whatever interpretation given to the prophecy, it didn’t come to pass as far as the last presidential election was concerned.

Either in the number of states in the eastern region or lawmakers produced for the National Assembly, the PDP won most votes and the states in the South-East, and not the APC. From Abia, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi to Anambra, Atiku dwarfed Buhari with his acceptance and adoption in the region.
