The General Overseer of Household of God Church, Rev. Chris Okotie, has claimed that were it not Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor's "false" prophecy to former President Goodluck Jonathan, he would not have contested the 2015 presidential election.

He said that the former President had initially made up his mind not to vie for the election, but revealed that Oritsejafor "deceived" him with tales of victory as prophesied unto him by God.

Pastor Oritsejafor is the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN.

Okotie, who said this while delivering a sermon in his church on Sunday, said, "Pastor Oritsejafor deceived Jonathan with a false prophecy from God that he (Jonathan) would win the election convincingly."

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 noted that some members of CAN and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria at that time knew that Pastor Oritsejafor's prophecy was false, but were scared to speak out.

He said, "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 added that President Muhammadu Buhari's victory was an act of God, adding that his emergence was a sign of good things to come.
