The national leader of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been admonished to move closer to God to achieve his dream of ruling Nigeria.

Doing this according to Prophet Bisi Olujobi of Wisdom Church International Ketu, Lagos, is all the politician needed to become Nigeria’s next president.

Olujobi said though the former Governor of Lagos has been mocked by many, God would surprise his mockers if only he (Tinubu) will move close to his maker the more.

The Christian cleric insists that God has a plan for Tinubu and he is taking him somewhere.

“All those attacking the APC National Leader would be shaken away if he drew closer to God,” Olujobi said while addressing a press conference in his church.

Prophet Olujobi also urged the Presidential aspirant to return closely to God for the sake of long life and good health.

He said: “God revealed to me that Bola Tinubu needs to pray more. It’s not that God can’t be on his side, but he needs to come closer to him than before so that all those attacking him will be shaken away, and particularly to grant him long life and take away illness from him.

“Although he has the ambition to become President, God told me that the plan to become President is in his hands and not in that of anybody. God is the only one that chooses a king and puts them in the right position.

“God told me that Tinubu needs to move closer to him than before and take himself away from whatever the devil is using against his life. This revelation is not working against him but to make Tinubu know that God is still on his side.”

Olujobi stressed that there is nobody that repents that God will not look unto.

He said further that no evil will work against Tinubu because the plan of God can’t change and God knows where He is taking the politician to.

“God has a plan for him, and it’s not like he can’t become the President, but there is a clause, he should settle himself with God. He needs good health and long life. He has ambition and God has a plan for him; he can become President,” the prophet reiterated.

Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has carpeted his River state counterpart, Nyesom Wike over his comment on the court ruling that sacked him from office.

Recall that Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja had sacked Umahi and his deputy, Kelechi Igwe, for dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In his reaction, Umahi described his removal and that of his deputy from office by Justice Ekwo as “a hatchet” man’s job, adding that the judge was wrong in his ruling.

After which Governor Wike lambasted Umahi for verbally attacking the Judge who sacked him from office, claiming that the PDP masterminded the judgement that had Umahi and his deputy sacked from office.

In his response, Umahi slammed Wike for hinting that he orchestrated his sack from office, adding that his colleague should stop speaking as if he has the Nigerian Judiciary in his armpit.

In a statement on Monday by his spokesman, Francis Nwaze, the Ebonyi governor asked Wike to explain to Nigerians how he masterminded the ruling without being a Judge.

Umahi described Wike as a cheeky hatchet job-man for making such an unguarded comment about him, asking the people of Ebonyi to ignore the submission made by the Rivers governor.

The statement read, “We have come across a video by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike in which he was quoted as saying that he masterminded the Abuja High Court judgment on Governor David Umahi’s defection to All Progressives Congress, APC.

“Not much surprised at the comment though, we would have ignored it as one of his blubberings but it has become imperative we make a few annotations for clarity.

“Wike from the statement has taken responsibility for the pronouncement of the Federal High Court, thus requiring that he explains to Nigerians how he now calls the shots in the Nation’s Judiciary without being a Judge.

“While we will not get intoxicated and begin to comment on a case that is already pending in a Court of competent jurisdiction like Wike, we like to place it on record that Ebonyi State is not in the same geopolitical Zone with Rivers State and so nothing would have prompted Nyesom Wike to make such unguarded comment about Governor Umahi if he is not a cheeky hatchet job-man.

“It is on record that Governor Umahi since the legal battle started has conducted himself properly by filing an appeal in a Court of Superior records and did not resort to horse-trading like his counterpart, Nyesom Wike who speaks as if he has the Nigeria Judiciary in his armpit, which is impossible.

“We are however not unaware that the envy of Nyesom Wike is the earth-shattering accomplishments of the Governor Umahi led administration in Ebonyi State which include but are not limited to over seventeen twin flyovers, State of the art King David University of Medical Sciences, the best of its kind in Africa, the shopping mall, the best International Airport in Nigeria, payment of civil servants, massive empowerment of the youths, widows, clergy and so much more.

“While not joining issues with the Governor, we like to remind Wike that hence he riggled himself out of the 2015 Appeal Court ruling dismissing him as Governor of Rivers State, Governor Umahi would come out of his current legal issues stronger and unscathed while still proceeding on his presidential ambition gallantly.

“Not minding his looney voice, we want to emphasize that Governor Umahi and Ebonyians have absolute confidence in the Nigeria Judiciary to carry out an unbiased adjudication which would open a new vista of precedence in justice dispensation in Nigeria.

“We urge Ebonyians and supporters of Governor David Nweze Umahi across the Country and beyond to remain peaceful and resolute lest the likes of Wike and other political desperados score a cheap political point by the reason of their conduct at a time like this.

“We also enjoin Ebonyi citizens and the reading public to disregard the hapless surmise of a man reputed for orchestration of unhealthy and brutish governance under a Democracy.”
