As 2023 draws close, many Nigerians have been wondering who will take over from the incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the general election.

In what seems to be a startling development was the recent prophetic declarations for 2022 by the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, which was forwarded to Vanguard Wednesday, where the cleric named some top politicians who are likely to become Nigeria’s next president and vice in 2023.

The shocker

What surprises many political observers is the fact that, the ‘prophet of doom’ as fondly called skipped names of some political bigwigs in Nigeria while revealing those likely to take over from the Buhari-Osinbajo administration.

Among these political bigwigs skipped are the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (Jagaban), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello.

Recall the trio have been tipped by some Nigerians in recent times to join the race for president in 2023. Though none of them have made official declaration, but unpopular opinion suggests they might be eyeing the Number One seat in the forthcoming Presidential election.

Names of likely presidential candidates in 2023

Primate Ayodele, however, named the following governors: Aminu Tambuwal, Nyesom Wike, Bukola Saraki, Samuel Ortom, and Bala Mohammed as good candidates for the presidency on the side of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He also identified Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Emmanuel Edom as possible candidates.

In the 90-paged prophecies signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele, mentioned Abubakar Malami, Boss Mustapha, Kayode Fayemi, Rotimi Amaechi, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, Babatunde Fashola, Mai Mala Buni, Ibikunle Amusun, and Aregbesola Rauf as presidential material on the side of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

“Tinubu venturing into the presidency will not make Nigeria great.

“Yahaya Bello presidential plan will be stopped and his party will frustrate his effort.

“Doyin Okupe should not waste his money on any election.

“Nyesom Wike will struggle for the top position in the PDP and will want to aspire to be

number one.

“The Senate and the Governors will flex muscle on who becomes the Presidential

candidate of the APC.

“Sule Lamido should also not waste his money on election.

“Goodluck Jonathan will lose his past and present day glory. There will be pressure on

him.

“Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is another good person but there will be scandals against him. They will also create enemies for him,” Primate Ayodele said. (Vanguard)
