The pretense has been on for a while that all is well between President Muhammadu Buhari and the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu but the cat was let out of the bag yesterday when the latter made an outburst against the former.
Tinubu, at a rally in Ogun state yesterday expressed the pains he is going through in the hands of the present government despite being the national leader of the party. He lamented at the recent policies of the government and described them as ways to sabotage his victory in the February 25 presidential election.
These were his words
- ‘’We will use our PVCs to take over the government from them. If they like let them create fuel crisis, even if they say there is no fuel, we will trek to vote. They are full of mischief; they could say there is no fuel. They have been scheming to create fuel crisis, but forget about it. Relax, I Asiwaju, have told you that the issue of fuel supply will be permanently addressed.
- “Let them increase the price of fuel, let them continue to hoard fuel, only them know where they have hoarded fuel, they hoarded money, they hoarded naira; we will go and vote and we will win. Even if they changed the ink on naira notes. Whatever their plans, it will come to naught.’’
The tone and the choice of words used only spell out one thing which is BETRAYAL. Before making such huge allegations as these, Tinubu must have seen the handwriting of betrayal on the wall, just like it happened before the presidential primaries of the APC.
There is a popular Yoruba saying that says ‘Oro agba ti ko ba se l’owuro, a se ni ale’ which means The words of the wise, if it’s not fulfilled early enough, will surely come to pass, no matter how late; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been warned about all of these since 2016 by popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele. This was even when He had a smooth relationship with President Buhari, He had free access to Aso rock and was always seen with the president then.
In an interview session with journalists in 2016, Primate Ayodele who is known to speak ahead of time made it known that Buhari will fight Obasanjo and Tinubu in the long run. Though, Obasanjo’s issue is just by the way but it’s been fulfilled too.
These were his words
- ‘’Buhari has a good mind to rule this country. It is just like Jonathan had a good mind to rule this country but the people around him ruined his government. So, President Buhari is good but people around him will teach him a lesson. It is not that he doesn’t know how to act. There are things that will happen. You will see the scripts as they unfold. And Obasanjo and Buhari will fight. Buhari and Tinubu will fight”. (https://www.nigerianeye.com/2016/04/buhari-will-fight-with-obasanjotinubu.html)
- At that time in 2016, no one would have thought that one day, President Buhari and Tinubu would have issues but what ordinary men cannot see, God always shows his prophet. It’s been seven years since the prophecy was made but it has now come to pass.
Primate Ayodele released another prophecy in 2020 that looked like an update of the one he gave in 2016. He categorically warned Tinubu to forget about 2023 because he will experience failing health and that President Buhari will dump him.
These were his words
- ‘‘Tinubu should take care of his health before his ambition for President. His health might crumble. Who says his health will still be standing by 2023? He has not done the right thing. Also, Buhari will dump Tinubu. He won’t support his cause. Buhari won’t give enough moral and physical support.” (https://theeagleonline.com.ng/primate-ayodele-to-tinubu-take-care-of-your-health-forget-presidential-ambition/)
For everyone that read the prophecy in 2020, even if they didn’t believe then, it is now very clear that Primate Ayodele spoke according to divine revelation. Shortly after this prophecy, Tinubu embarked on a medical trip for three months and now, President Buhari is obviously not giving him enough physical and moral support just as the prophet said three years ago. President Buhari has only attended a few presidential campaign rallies so far. In a video shared yesterday, the president was also heard asking Nigerians to vote for any party they want without even mentioning the APC or Tinubu. This is an obvious proof that the president isn’t supporting Tinubu’s cause, fulfilling Primate Ayodele’s 2020 prophecy.
Again in 2021, Primate Ayodele warned again that he doesn’t see Tinubu’s political reign exceeding 2023. He mentioned that some of the people he refers to as ‘political sons’ will rise up against him.
These were his words
“I don’t see Tinubu’s reign in politics exceeding 2023. The plans to take over power from him are underway and almost perfected. His ‘boys’, those he trained politically, will betray, backstab and rise up against him.’’ (https://dailypost.ng/2021/09/05/tinubu-boys-will-betray-him-his-political-career-will-not-exceed-2023-primate-ayodele/)
When the prophet made this statement, APC had not held its presidential primaries and there was no indication that the vice president, Prof Yemi Osinbajo who is a ‘graduate’ of Tinubu’s political school would show interest in the presidential race since his political ‘teacher’ had made his intentions known. Fast forward to months later after the prophecy, the VP declared for presidency, rose against his ‘boss’ and stayed in the race till he lost the ticket to Tinubu. Until now, The vice president is yet to openly declare support for Tinubu’s presidential ambition, likewise others that passed through Tinubu’s tutelage in politics.
In 2022 again, Primate Ayodele advised Tinubu not to put too much strength on his presidential ambition because it will not see the light of the day. He even told him to return to Lagos because he may be betrayed in the state if he isn’t careful.
‘’’He has not seen anything, he better not put too much strength on the presidency rather he should return to Lagos if not, they will still betray him in Lagos.’’ (https://newswirengr.com/2022/04/12/2023-osinbajo-didnt-betray-tinubu-karma-playing-out-primate-ayodele/)
Primate Ayodele continued with these warnings to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023 and mentioned that he will face a last-minute betrayal from the north and people within his party.
These were his words
“I don’t see any past leaders supporting Tinubu’s ambition. I foresee Northerners betraying Tinubu and the people within his party. People who are close to him will also betray him.’’ (https://independent.ng/primate-ayodele-reveals-how-tinubu-will-be-betrayed-in-2023/)
For some days now, some members of Tinubu’s PCC have been withdrawing their participation, he doesn’t seem to enjoy the acceptance he got when he declared his intention. President Buhari, being the president and a northerner has so much power in selling Tinubu to the north but he clearly isn’t doing that, which is surprising.
It’s been seven years since Primate Ayodele has been talking about Tinubu’s presidential ambition and if there is one thing that has always been constant in the prophetic messages, it is betrayal and lack of support from President Buhari; these have all come to pass already.
