Updated: May 29: Hit-and-miss prophecies over Tinubu’s inauguration.



Today, May 29, 2023, the winner of the February 25, 2023, Presidential elections, Bola Tinubu was officially sworn in as the fifth democratically elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria since the country’s return to democracy in 1999.


Tinubu, popularly referred to as Jagaban, loosely translated to mean, ‘leader of warriors’, has never hidden his ambition to rule the country. True to his conviction and the title bestowed upon him by the Emir of Borgu in Niger State, the politician believes that “power is not served à la carte.”

Despite the hurdles he faced before his emergence as the standard flag bearer of his party, the All Progressives Congress, Tinubu ended up defeating the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and the candidate of the third-force opposition, the Labour Party, Peter Obi.



Since his emergence as the winner of the election, supporters of the opposition parties have repeatedly accused the former governor of Lagos State of working in collaboration with state machinery to rig the election.


Interestingly, aside from the political antagonism against his emergence, there has also been the spiritual side to his acclaimed victory in the form of the different prophecies which began to fly with regard to his inauguration.


While some clerics predicted that the politician would be sworn-in, others predicted that he would not.


In this article, The PUNCH highlights the ‘hit-and-miss’ prophecies about Tinubu’s inauguration.


1. Tinubu won’t be sworn in and will be arrested on May 29 – Bishop Feyi Daniels


The founder of ‘I Reign Christian Ministry’, Feyi Daniels prophesied that Tinubu would win the 2023 presidential elections. However, the cleric noted that Tinubu would not be sworn in on May 29, 2023, but arrested by security agencies.


The cleric in a video posted on his YouTube channel on February 19, 2023, said, “About to be sworn-in, that day, everybody that said he (Tinubu) is the next president will be rejoicing and they will be saying, I told you, prophets that don’t see far will start telling you that, didn’t I tell you that

Tinubu is the next president? At that event, it looks like a very open ground, like a stadium-like centre, while at that event, military men will come in and they will arrest Tinubu.”


Checks by our correspondent on May 29, 2023, however, revealed that Tinubu was sworn-in and not arrested as the prophet predicted.


2. Nothing will hinder Tinubu’s inauguration – Prophet Joshua Iginla

The General Overseer of the Champions Royal Assembly, Joshua Iginla, on May 21, 2023, prophesied that nothing would stop Tinubu’s inauguration. The prophet in an interview with PM news noted that although his favourite candidate is Peter Obi, God told him in 2020 that Tinubu would be the next president.


“I have never met him before, I have never seen him before. I try to distance myself from politicians. When it comes to the issue of what God spoke to me, I stand my ground. If you have been following my track record from nation to nation like Zambia, Kenya amongst other global prophecies, when God speaks to me, I stick to it. When it comes to the issue of the prophetic and having an understanding of it, I know that’s one thing God has blessed me with.


“My encounters are very unique. One of the things that has kept me in the faith is because of my encounter with Jesus. I have seen him. The Lord Jesus appeared to me, and I know when God is speaking. There is no perfect election anywhere. The politicians, what they think about the 2023 elections in Nigeria, that’s their own business. They should go to court, and whatever the outcomes, they should abide by it. The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable. No man can disrupt the unity of this country due to personal ambition,” Iginla had remarked.

Tragedy in Edo State: Negligence, Political Agendas, and the Loss of a Valiant Officer

Image
  The recent incident in Edo State, where a police officer lost his life amidst political celebrations, has left many questioning the priorities and values of those in power. Rather than providing first aid to the fallen officer, he was used as a political prop, paraded around while severely shot, instead of receiving the urgent care he so desperately needed. This blatant disregard for human life and the well-being of those who serve to protect us must not be overlooked or forgotten. As the number one citizen of Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki has a responsibility to work closely with the Inspector General of Police to ensure that the perpetrators of this heinous act are brought to justice. Swift and decisive action is crucial in demonstrating that such negligence and callousness will not be tolerated in our society. The fallen officer's family, friends, and colleagues deserve to see accountability for this tragic loss of life. Additionally, the decision of Philip Shaibu to rejo...

Unmasking the Metamorphosis of Political 'Gangster Writers

Image
     …..A Tale of Mercurial Pens and Muddied Inks In an era plagued by mafias and gangsters vying for territory, a new breed of assassins has emerged – the 'political gangster writers.' These pens-for-hire have seemingly compromised the integrity of the written word, transforming their craft into a tool for political manipulation. Once revered as the fourth estate, writers were the fearless crusaders who exposed the truth, allowing citizens to drink from the fountain of knowledge. Yet, the piece by Erasmus Ikhide lamenting the decay of our educational institutions under Godwin Obaseki's administration and him cross carpeting to the political party he writes against begs the question: are political gangster writers undergoing a Kafkaesque metamorphosis? As a friend and admirer of Erasmus, I am left perplexed by this apparent volte-face. It seems our wordsmiths are entangled in a web of Machiavellian machinations, their loyalty swayed by the siren song of stomach infrastruc...

Telling the Truth in Nigeria: A Revolutionary Act in a Time of Universal Deceit-Dr Eholor

Image
  In George Orwell’s world of dystopian fiction, the phrase "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" captures the essence of defiance against manipulation, lies, and suppression. Today, in Nigeria, this phrase resonates strongly as we navigate an era where truth seems elusive, and deceit has seeped into the very fabric of our society. The act of telling the truth—no matter how inconvenient, painful, or disruptive—has become not just an act of courage but a revolutionary stance against a system that often thrives on falsehoods. A Landscape of Deception: Nigeria, a nation rich in culture, resources, and potential, has unfortunately become a country where dishonesty is often rewarded, and truth-telling can result in severe consequences. Whether it is in politics, business, media, or even everyday interactions, the distortion of facts and manipulation of narratives are rampant. Leaders, both public and private, frequently make promises they never ...
