2015 Election: ‘God Has Spoken Through Jonathan

The statement by President Goodluck Jonathan at the 2014 Democracy Day Interdenominational Church Service in Abuja on Sunday that, “after Today, the next Democracy Day will witness a new government,” has been described as a divine message from God. Reacting to the President’s statement, the Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Lagos State chapter, Otunba Henry Oladele Ajomale said, “God has spoken through President Goodluck Jonathan to personally announce the vision that APC will take over the centre in 2015. “He did not only assure us that the 2015 general elections will hold, but also gave a revelation that Nigeria will witness a new government next year. Can’t you see that God is great?” The Lagos APC boss further pointed out that the same president told the congregation at the church that the country would continue to move forward in spite of some of the setbacks we are witnessing now, saying that the imminent change that would bring APC into power would ensure rapid progress of the country. Otunba Ajomale also used the opportunity to assure party members in the state that no governorship aspirant has been endorsed by the party leadership, adding that Oba Rilwan Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos, was purely exppressing his personal opinion when he said Akinwumi Anbode should succeed Fashola in 2015. “As far as APC is concerned, every aspirant is on the same level playing ground, nobody has been endorsed because it’s too early to do that. When the time comes, they would face the party’s electoral conditions,” he said.
