Rev. Chris Okotie, the general overseer of Household ofGod church has said that former president Goodluck
Jonathan would not have contested in the 2015
presidential election but was swayed by the false
prophecy of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the president of the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
The Punch reports that Okotie said this during a
sermon on Sunday, October 25 in his church in Lagos.
He said the president of CAN falsely prophesied that
Jonathan would win the election convincingly which
was why Jonathan went along to contest in the election
which he eventually lost to Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “The man (Jonathan) became convinced to
contest after Oritsejafor had told him, using CAN’s name,
that God had ordained him the winner of the 2015
presidential election.”
Okotie said that some members of Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and CAN were aware
that the prophecy was false but were afraid to speak
out.
“They couldn’t speak out because they were scared of
being insulted. They were scared of being insulted for
saying rubbish. They were scared of being insulted on the
pages of newspapers. So, while I continued to write and
speak that Jonathan was not the man, those of them who
knew the truth in what I was saying chose to keep quiet out
of fear.
“I told CAN and PFN that Jonathan was not of God; that
whosoever would win would be one that had built a
tabernacle in the presence of God.
“I told CAN and PFN that Jonathan did not belong to the
House of David and that since he did not belong to the
household, his winning would bring more sorrow to
Nigeria.”
Okotie said that God was responsible for the victory of
Buhari and that it signified that good things would
come.
Sunny Oibe who is the director of national issues in
CAN responded on behalf of Oritsejafor that Okotie’s
statement was wrong and that the president of CAN
did not make any prophesy concerning the election.
“Well, it is laughable if Chris Okotie is making this spurious
allegation…We will not like to take issues with Okotie…
because doing that will amount to making him popular. He
is looking for popularity which he doesn’t have through
Pastor Ayo and he is not going to get it.

“Okotie knows exactly that what he is saying is not true.
Nigerians should know that Pastor Oritsejafor is not among
those pastors that make prophecies. He does not make
prophecy and never said anything during the campaigns.
Why would he bring politics into the pulpit?
“This is where we Christians are getting it wrong. They are
the ones misleading Nigerians. Oritsejafor never made any
prophecy concerning Jonathan and the 2015 presidential
election. I challenged any Nigerian with evidence to come
forward.”
