2019: Buhari would be defeated if he contests - popular blind Prophet Kasali

- The clergy are also not left out in the comments concerning the election - A popular blind prophet, Moses Muyideen Kasali has given his own verdict concerning the polls The famous blind prophet and General Overseer of the Mountain of Mercy (aka Ori-Oke Alaseyori Church) in Ibadan, Oyo state, Moses Muyideen Kasali, has declared that President Muhammadu Buhari would be defeated should he contest in the 2019 presidential election. In a press statement sent to journalists, the prophet warned that an attempt to rig the 2019 presidential election by factions desperate for Buhari’s second term at the detriment of Nigerians would not only fail, but also bring ruin to those plotting it. He also warned President Buhari to beware of sycophants and political jobbers “who are likely to hijack his government and render him incapacitated and unable to please God in the assignment the Almighty has given to him.” 

Part of the statement read: “The APC itself was founded on deception and insincerity. It is a pity that the party’s merger that produced the current leadership is largely composed of selfish men who became strange bedfellows. 

“The few ones who have genuine intentions to lead the nation like President Buhari have been overwhelmed by the bad heads. My candid advice for President Buhari is to heed the counsel of the wise and godly and retire to his home in Daura and perish the thought of re-contesting in 2019. “I pray he would be wise enough to do this and allow Nigeria to have peace. If those who have constituted themselves as a cabal of this government make any untoward attempt to deploy state machinery to rig President Buhari into power in 2019… they will not only fail but would bring damnation on themselves and their families.” Prophet Kasali was among the numerous clergy who had predicted Buhari’s presidency shortly before the 2015 presidential poll. Kasali had declared then that God was backing the emergence of Buhari as the nation’s leader because He knew that the retired general had a very good intention of cleaning up the mess created by his predecessors. Meanwhile, there are ongoing plans for the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) led by former president Olusegun Obasanjo and the Nigeria Intervention Movement (NIM) led by Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN) to merge and join forces ahead of the 2019 general election.

Leaders of both movement believe that it is time to unite forces and form a coalition, a political third force that will rescue the country. While the Obasanjo-led CNM is peopled by mostly politicians and elder statesmen, the NIM on its part is filled with technocrats, rights activists, and other Nigerians who share the same ideology on how to move the country forward.
