Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo, would not win reelection in 2023, according to Ibadan-based priest Prophet Moses Olagunju.
Olagunju asserted that in 2009, he foretold Makinde's triumph; ten years later, his prediction came true.
He said that Niyi Farinto, a former commissioner for budget, and Senator Hosea Agboola, chairman of the Governor's advisory council, are aware of the 2009 prophecy.
Olagunju, the General Overseer of Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries in Ibadan, said in a statement while appearing on the Olayinka Agboola-hosted Parrot Xtra/Ayekooto programme on Splash 105.5FM that his prophecy was based on what God had informed him, not because the Governor had ignored him.
He said: “I fasted for Governor Seyi Makinde for 45 days and nights for him to emerge as the Governor of Oyo State. Some important personalities in his government are quite aware of this even though they did not even bother to appreciate. I can mention Senator Hosea Agboola, Niyi Farinto and others.
“I predicted that Engr. Seyi Makinde will eventually emerge as the Governor of Oyo State as far back as 2009. I have all the prophesies written in a document even when he went to Social Democratic Party (SDP) I was one of the people that encouraged him to go, likewise when he joined People Democratic Party (PDP) before he eventually emerged as the Governor.
“God told me things, problems that will unfold in his administration but they refused to take my message with seriousness. He will not return for a second term.”
“As Christians, the bible does not support swearing. God said our ‘yes’ should always be our ‘yes’ and our ‘no’ should equally be our ‘no’. God knew that man is liable to error that is why He did not support swearing of an oath with the Bible.
“Most people are just going about with the Bible, it does not have any meaning to them but whosoever wants to make Heaven should always know that his or her ‘yes’ must be ‘yes’ and ‘no’ should be ‘no’.
“When God revealed a vision to an individual, it is not to frighten but to warn the persons involved to be watchful and be prayerful but so many people believe that the moment a prophet releases a prophecy he is only seeking after popularity and wealth. I do not release prophecy to frighten people or to gather wealth.”
