According to video evidence, the resignation of beleaguered
politician and chair of Nigeria’s ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
Bamanga Tukur on Wednesday, had been predicted weeks earlier by
Nigeria’s Prophet T.B. Joshua of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations
(SCOAN).
The Lagos-based televangelist prophesied on New Year’s Eve during the
church’s crossover church service broadcast live via his television
station Emmanuel TV that Tukur would go.
Addressing his congregation, T.B. Joshua prophesied that many mighty
people would fall in 2014, a year he termed one of ‘crossing the
bridge’. He went on to specifically mention Tukur by name. “At last, the
PDP will pay any price to unite,” Joshua said. “I don’t know the price
they will pay but this is what God showed me. The chairman Tukur will
leave.”
Though he did not say how he would leave, it was clear that the
embattled politician was heading for a disastrous fall-out with the
hierarchy that would kick him out of his political pedestal.
News broke on Wednesday that the Chairman was forced to step down
following a brief meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan. Press
reports say Tukur had been resolute to hold on to his position until he
was told that the national executive council and the national working
committee of the party were read to cast a ‘vote of no-confidence on
Thursday January 16, 2014 against him.’
“To avert the vote of no confidence, Bamanga Tukur hurried a
resignation letter – and dated his resignation for January 15, 2014 –
after the Muslim holiday,” said various online publications.
The PDP has for over three years now been rocked with internal fights
that has seen senior party officials including senators, resign. This
was also predicted by the pastor who in 2010 and 2011 predicted that a
new party would emerge to challenge the ruling party. He also insinuated
that the wrangle that would grip the PDP had potential to bring the
giant party to its knees.
T.B. Joshua is credited for predicting major world events including
the deaths of American Pop star Michael Jackson and former Malawi
president Bingu wa Mutharika. He is also on record to have prophesied
the terrorist attack during the Bosthon Marathon in US last year.
