A cleric, Prophet Anthony Nwoko, has said that neither President Goodluck Jonathan nor Gen. Muhammadu Buhari will be president after next month's election.
Nwoko had in 1993 prophesied the end of the military regime of former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida, which came to be.
Also in 1998, he prophesied that the late military ruler, Gen. Sani Abacha, would leave governance of Nigeria in a mysterious way. Briefing newsmen in Enugu yesterday on the state of the nation, he also lamented that the nation was turning very ungodly, saying, "I had told IBB in 1993 to leave office and it happened and in 1998, I prophesied that Abacha would leave office mysteriously, and you saw what happened."
Speaking on prospect of Jonathan's reelection, Nwoko said, "In 2010, I told Nigerians that they should not expect much or any miracle from Jonathan.
Now, in this coming election, Jonathan will only serve as John the Baptist and Buhari has not got any heavenly crown to rule and will not rule this country because he hasn't got that crown.
"Don't take my prophecies for granted because I had also told Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar not to make Obasanjo president and I had also warned Obasanjo not to make the late former President Yar'Adua president and my advice was not heeded and you saw what happened."
On what would happen having prophesied that the two leading presidential candidates would not be president after February elections, the 64-year-old prophet vacillated, saying: "I can see the glory of Nigeria in the South East and I don't agree with Wole Soyinka that Jonathan is Nebuchadnezzar; Jonathan is a forerunner to the glory of God."
On the controversy stoked recently by Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka in Enugu, Nwoko said he was not condemning the priest but "I want to tell him that I can see the glory of God in the South," an ominous projection that showed no definite direction for the country in the event that either of the two giants become president as prophesied.
The prophet, who said he is not married at the advanced age of 64 years, has no home of his own and has not set foot on his Umuahia country home in Abia State in the past 45 years.
He said he would only visit Umuahia after accomplishing the prophetic task for which he was called home from America by God decades ago.
