Prior to the 2019 presidential election, most pastors, bishops and prophets made prophetic pronouncements and declarations concerning Nigeria.


While some of this clerics predicted that the incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari, who was also the flag bearer of the ruling all progressives Congress, APC would be defeated by the candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, others prophesied otherwise.

Here, DAILY POST takes a flashback on the failed prophetic declarations.


As church leaders and prominent pastors announced God’s revelations to them concerning 2019, Apostle Omotosho Tope, of the OTJ Live Ministry, in his shocking prophecies for the year, said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, would take over and experience victory in the elections.

But the prophecy could be said to have failed as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,announced President Buhari of the APC winner of the presidential election on Wednesday morning.

Also in his 2019 prophetic declarations on January 1, 2019, the founder and General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman, said that most eastern states would vote for President Buhari in the presidential election.


Apostle Suleman had said, “I saw most Eastern states won by APC at the National level.”

This did not happen. However, the reverse was the case as the president failed in all the Eastern States.

Also in his declaration prior to the 2019 presidential election, a renowned prophet and Founder, Evangelical Church of Yahweh Worldwide, Primate Theophilus Olabayo, said that God had told him how the 2019 election would end. He said the election would be declared inconclusive.



The cleric called on Nigerians to gird their loins and embark on spiritual exercises to avert imminent danger ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Olabayo revealed that President Buhari would face the toughest challenge of his life in the election year.

According to him, “For the coming 2019 general elections, it will be men fighting men, and not boys fighting men because Buhari, and APC would want to use power of incumbency to influence the elections, but Atiku will not agree. They are going to fight each other, and the elections will be inconclusive.



However, the election was not declared inconclusive but rather, President Buhari was announced as the winner.

On his party, a South African based Pastor identified as Pastor Samuel Akinbodunse, said that God told him that President Muhammadu Buhari would not see 2019 elections.

In a viral video on Twitter, the pastor said Buhari “will die before the votes.”



He said that those who knew the President or had access to the Presidency shouldwarnd Buhari not to campaign for the election.

He said Buhari was crossing his boundaries because “his tenure is once, not twice.”

He said, “Warn Buhari that he is going beyond his boundary. That the Lord said his tenure is once. Not twice. If not, he’ll not see the election.



“Tell him, if you know him or you know how to email the Presidency of Nigeria. Please write him a test. If he makes a mistake to campaign for the election, before the vote he’ll die. And I’m saying the truth.”
