Osho Oluwatosin, the media aide to Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has responded to a comment credited to Oliver Okpala, Senior Special Assistant on Public Enlightenment to APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje regarding the prophet’s prophecy on APC.
Primate Ayodele had issued a prophecy warning the APC national chairman among others that he should be watchful against backstabbers who wanted him out of his current position. The prophet remarked that Ganduje’s time was up and that another person was coming to take his position. He warned him to guard against causing crisis among the party’s executive members.
In his reaction, Oliver Okpala had described Primate Ayodele’s prophecy as personal and politically-motivated, requesting that the prophet stopped prophesying about politics and violence.
Responding, Osho Oluwatosin described Oliver Okpala’s response as a means of exposing his cognitive disability while clarifying that Primate Ayodele’s prophecy wasn’t borne out of personal attack against Abdullahi Ganduje.
‘’In order to secure his daily bread, Chief Oliver Okpala, The Senior Special Assistant on Public Enlightenment to All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje decided to toe the path of disgrace by exposing his cognitive disability.’
“The message in this prophecy was clear enough; Primate Ayodele was simply calling on Ganduje to pray in order to remain in his position; there was no form of personal attack in the prophet’s message but sadly, Oliver Okpala couldn’t see any other thing than meaninglessly describing the primate’s message to his principal as ‘negative and politically motivated.”
He chided Okpala for asserting that prophets in the Holy Books didn’t prophecy anything related to violence or unrest while commenting on Primate Ayodele’s warning to Ganduje to avoid gunshots in the party’s secretariat. Oluwatosin went further to give several instances of prophets in the Bible that were known for prophecies about war, famine, drought, and others.
“He obliviously commented on the prophet’s warnings against gunshot in the party’s secretariat while using prophets in religious books to say men of God don’t warn people about anything that is not related to peace, unity and love. This no doubt confirms the fatuousness of Oliver Okpala because Primate Ayodele didn’t call for violence. He only called on Ganduje to take steps in order to avoid violence and make way for peace. However, most of the prophets of old never even prophesied peace; Prophet Elijah prophesied drought for years (1Kings 17 vs 1), Micaiah’s prophecy about Israel losing a battle was perceived as ‘negative’ by the King (1Kings 22 vs17); Hosea prophesied destruction (Hosea 2 vs 11-12). Prophet Micah prophesied ruins (Micah 3 vs 12), and all of these came to pass. To further prove that prophesies, even in the olden days were never all about peace, Prophet Jeremiah confirmed that all prophets before him predicted war, even and pestilence.
“The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old, prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence,” (Jeremiah 28 vs 8).
“Oliver Okpala indeed failed to do due diligence to Primate Ayodele’s prophecy. He only took it out of context, quoting Bible verses that even contradict his position on the prophet.”
Continuing, Osho Oluwatosin noted that Primate Ayodele wasn’t interested in Ganduje accepting the prophecy or not due to the giant strides the prophet had pulled since he began his ministry.
He further reiterated that Ganduje would lose his job except he prayed as Primate Ayodele warned.
“Primate Ayodele is not even concerned about Ganduje listening to the prophecy or not, He is not doing anything to please anyone and for more than 30 years, the prophet has been prophesying with records of over 15,000 fulfilled prophecies, He has remained consistent for close to three decades. Therefore, Ganduje’s acceptance or rejection of his prophecy is inconsequential to his ministry. He has delivered his God’s given message and it is only a matter of time before it comes to pass.’
“Personally, I would advise Abdullahi Ganduje to start counting his days as national chairman of the All Progressive Congress and likewise, Oliver Okpala should prepare his CV because very soon, they will both lose their positions except they pray as Primate Ayodele had warned.”
