The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has lambasted Primate Theophilus Olabayo of the Evangelical Church of Yahweh, Maryland, Lagos, for predicting that the party would lose Lagos State governorship election in 2015.

The party warned Lagosians in particular and Nigerians in general to be wary of attention-seeking prophets and their patronising prophecies of doom, as the 2015 general elections draw nearer.

Reacting to Olabayo’s prediction, the state Publicity Secretary of APC, Mr. Joe Igbokwe said the clergy was only aiming at regaining public relevance.

He said that Olabayo’s prediction never came to the party as a surprise, following his antecedents of failed predictions in the past.



According to Igbokwe, Olabayo was only trying to use APC to bounce back to relevance, having suffered both physical, financial and spiritual setback years ago.

“Is it not the same man who predicted years back that George W. Bush would defeat Bill Clinton at the American polls only to publicly apologise that he saw Clinton and not Bush, after Clinton became the president?

“In 1991, the ‘man of God’ predicted the imminent death of a very prominent Nigerian who threatened to sue him for the fake prophecies. The man is still alive till date and still kicking at over 80 years of age. Are these not enough to make the self-acclaimed Nostradamus to cover his face in shame?” Igbokwe queried.

The APC publicist advised Olabayo to heed the word of the Bible which says “Healer, heal thyself,” adding that just as his past predictions had gone into the garbage bin, so would this one which the party rejected in God’s mighty name.

Igbokwe likened the prediction of the Kogi State-born primate to that of the late Professor Godspower Oyewole who desecrated the Holy Bible where he claimed that he saw the name of a former president, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, adding that Olabayo had gone back to his old ways of seeking relevance through controversial predictions which usually caused confusion.

Primate Olabayo had in a recent interview with a national newspaper, predicted that the ruling APC would lose Lagos State to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in next year’s governorship poll.

Religion leaders are failing my hand greatly

Dear APC.......Silence would have been golden, your victory in Lagos would have exposed the fake prophecy. At such a time like this, everyone is scrambling for their own share.....so its not coming as a surprise.#TeamAmbode #TeamBuhari #TeamOsinbajo #TeamChange #Team2015 #TeamLetOurVotesSpeak

Great...

I thank God for the life of Pope Francis, Archbishop of Lagos and all the clergy, whose constant prayers I rely for help.

Lord God forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that has offended us.

Wow,is somebody scared already

Wait...if APC won't lose then why will they bother? This thing called guilty conscience sef

Association of
Pissed
criminals

Wow,is somebody scared already

Ok

Good , even though I despise APC, these prophets of baal should be put in their place.

Political shii...Stay dea while I keep making money...

Tired of this back and forward talk of APC and PDP this.

Why is APC panicking at the mention of prophecy of failure
With or without prophecy, APC is already a failed party. A collection of frustrated PDP elements coming together to form a noise.
