Withdraw your case against Tinubu - Prophet who predicted Tinubu’s victory tells Peter Obi

The General Overseer of the Foundation of Jehovah High Salvation Ministry, Prophet Godwin Ikuru has urged Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to withdraw his petition against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The clergyman had predicted the emergence of Tinubu as president two years ago. According to him, he foresees Obi losing at the presidential election petition tribunal.

He made this known during an interview with Daily Independent published on Tuesday, July 18.

The cleric urged Obi to take a cue from ex-President Goodluck Jonathan who congratulated the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari via a tweet.

He said: “He can do like former President Goodluck Jonathan, who went on Twitter and congratulated former President Muhammadu Buhari before he became president in 2015. That hour, there was so much tension, but immediately Jonathan twitted, the tension came down."

“So, it would be better for Mr. Peter Obi to do that rather than wait till he loses in court because I see him losing the case.”

Prophet Ikuru, however, noted that Peter Obi’s political journey is not yet over as he still has a chance to a leadership position.

He said: “Someone like Mr. Peter Obi still has opportunities. He hasn’t insulted Mr. President. He’s only talking about his mandate. At this time, he can still come back and drop the whole thing.”
