After More Than Six Months In Office, Buhari Justifies Clergy Man Who Predicted He Would Be Stoned By Nigerians

Auchi-based preacher and senior pastor of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman, had sometimes in April 2015 predicted that Nigerians may be forced to hurl stones at the then incoming president, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

The fire-spitting preacher stated that in frustration, people may resort to stoning the President-Elect elect if they did not see the highly publicized change by the new government.

It could be recalled that Suleiman had predicted the emergence of the All Progressives Confidence, APC (NB: Buhari on Aljazeera called it All Progressives Confidence, who are we to call it Congress?  ) candidate but warned that he may not be allowed to rule.

In an interview with Punch, the cleric said: “Let me say this to you. 

In the next six months, people may stone Buhari. 

The reason I’m saying this is because the expectation is too high. 

Nigerians expect Buhari to put gold on their tables judging from the promises he's being making.  

Two, the large chunk of followership Buhari has are youths and young people and they are impatient. 

Young people don’t believe in progressive change, they want change. 

When they say change, they see a new picture. 

And Buhari has been talking from the two sides of the mouth. 

During campaign, he told us Boko Haram would be a thing of the past.

Now, you are President-elect, you are saying people shouldn’t expect a miracle. 

Are you a pastor? If I wanted a miracle worker, won’t I bring a Mallam or a miracle worker? 

When you were being voted for, we were not voting for a pastor, so don’t tell us about miracles.

“Like I said, Jonathan will be seen as a hero very soon because that’s the Nigerian story. 

Anybody who they feel is not doing well, get him out. 

The next few minutes, they miss this person. 

If by September, there is still a blink in power, people will start abusing Buhari. 

You said you were going to do this, and you can't really blame them because he actually gave them high hopes. 

Two, who are Buhari’s footmen, the large chunk are ex-PDP people and of course you know, many are still defecting. 

Nigerian politicians are the most shameless people (I know); they can’t bear hunger. 

They are defecting now to lobby for offices. 

If you should check the people around the man, it gives you an idea of where the man is heading.”

Suleiman also threw light on the implications of President Jonathan’s concession, said, I saw him a month before the election and we talked one on one. 

All I told him was that he wouldn’t win. 

I personally told Jonathan to concede defeat. 

I told him he would save a lot of heads if he conceded defeat and left. 

I saw not less than half a million people without their heads.
