Auchi-based preacher and senior pastor of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has predicted that the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari will not last in power.

It could be recalled that Suleiman had predicted the emergence of the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate but warned that he may not be allowed to rule.

In an interview with Punch, the cleric said: I read in the paper and even online that I said President Jonathan would win the election. That to me was a lie that was concocted from hell because I don't understand where that came from.

“I never said that. Even the Sunday (a day after the presidential election) while the results were still being collated, I said these people would not win but let's hope (Gen. Muhammadu) Buhari (retd.) will rule because I don't see Buhari ruling and even if he rules, I don't see him lasting in power.

“I repeated it and some of the APC leaders contacted me, I told them verbatim that God told me this man is not well and that you people are evil. You could have brought somebody else. Don't drain life out of this man because you have an agenda to push this man forward.

“Nobody should die for Nigeria. Nigeria will keep being Nigeria no matter how many lives are lost. So those pastors who gave the prophecies know where they heard them (from). It's a spiritual matter which is very dicey.

“Some of the pastors said he would win, some even said what would happen after he wins. I think they have the public to face for an answer. And I will not expect the people to judge them because some of these pastors have given prophecies that came to pass before.

“Before people now believe them to that extent, there must have been some things they said that came to pass. When certain things are not going the way some people prophesied, they shouldn't be judged. People should only know that 'this time, he missed it, so let's hope next time he gets it right.”

Suleiman also shed light on the implications of President Jonathan's concession, saying “I saw him a month before the election and we talked one on one. All I told him was that he wouldn't win. I personally told Jonathan to concede defeat.

“I told him he would save a lot of heads if he conceded defeat and left. I saw not less than half a million people without their heads.

“We have a President who has had two problems– he is politically naive and he doesn't understand the concept of power. We have had a President who has a media team that doesn't understand what they call ceasefire.

“I told the President one on one that his media team didn't manage him well. I told him, he would not come back. I said the other people had not just got the will of the people, they had got the will of some ministers of God in the place of prayer and few of them had contacted certain ministers of God and we had sat down and discovered we needed change.”
