The General Overseer of the Household of God Church,
Reverend Chris Okotie has said that former President, Goodluck Jonathan
would not have contested for a second term if he hadn’t been deceived by
the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor.
Okotie said further that Jonathan
contested because Oritsejafor had issued a false prophecy assuring the
former president of victory in the 2015 polls.
The controversial Reverend, who is also a former
presidential aspirant, made the comments on Sunday, October 25, 2015
while delivering a sermon in his church in Lagos.
“Pastor
Oritsejafor deceived Jonathan with a false prophecy from God that he
(Jonathan) would win the election convincingly,” Okotie said according
to Punch.
“The man (Jonathan) became convinced to
contest after Oritsejafor had told him, using CAN’s name, that God had
ordained him the winner of the 2015 presidential election,” he added.
“I
told CAN and PFN that Jonathan was not of God; that whosoever would win
would be one that had built a tabernacle in the presence of God. I told
CAN and PFN that Jonathan did not belong to the House of David and that
since he did not belong to the household, his winning would bring more
sorrow to Nigeria,” Okotie said.
Okotie also said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory in the elections was an act of God.
Buhari
defeated Jonathan in the March 28 elections becoming the first Nigerian
candidate to unseat an incumbent president in democratic elections.
