Televangelist and\u00a0cleric of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope Joshua, on Sunday said he told President Goodluck Jonathan, that he would lose the March 28 presidential election.<\/p>\n
Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was defeated by Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) of the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n
T.B Joshua said he sent his message to the President weeks before the election.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to use this moment to congratulate Nigerians in our midst here,\u201d Mr. Joshua began in a message to his congregation, televised live via his Christian network Emmanuel TV and posted on the social network of the church.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis message should be delivered to your president, that whatever the outcome of this election, his regime has come to an end. He should accept to save the lives of millions,\u201d Joshua claimed God told him in a revelation.<\/p>\n
Joshua said he called Jonathan by phone, stressing that he chose to relay it personally so that it will not affect votes\u2019 pattern or be seen as a campaign for any of the candidate in the election. He added that he has shared with President Jonathan many revelations about Nigeria which eventually came to pass.<\/p>\n
Joshua said Jonathan promptly sent a close aide to meet him.<\/p>\n
After the presidential aide had worshipped at his church during a Sunday service, Joshua said he met him and relayed the revelation that \u00a0Jonathan\u2019s regime had come to an end. \u201cSoft landing \u2013 that is the language I sent to the president,\u201d he told attendees.<\/p>\n
Mr. Joshua described President Jonathan as a man who \u2018has a heart for God\u2019, revealing that he even spoke with the Nigerian president shortly before his historic concession call to President-elect Buhari.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said to him, \u2018Your Excellency \u2013 all you need to say is \u2018thank You, Jesus\u2019, even when it seems there is nothing to be thankful for. He said, \u2018Thank you, man of God\u2019. Before I knew it, I saw the news on CNN that he had congratulated his opponent,\u201d\u200bJoshua said.\u200b<\/p>\n
Alluding to his prediction a week to the election that the dark cloud he saw covering Nigeria was lifting, he said that a bloody \u2018war\u2019 would have ensued if not for the prompt concession of power by President Jonathan.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, Nigeria wanted change \u2013 everyone was yearning for change. An attempt to stop change leads to war, to a bloodbath\u2026 If Nigeria knows what we have overcome, we would dance,\u201d\u200bJoshua said.\u200b<\/p>\n
Joshua praised Jonathan\u2019s tenure insisting that he had served his nation well despite the immense security challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really want to salute President Jonathan. The President has served; he has done his best. It was just the season of crisis \u2013 and unfortunately he found himself at the lead in the season of crisis,\u201d\u200bhe said.\u200b<\/p>\n
He prayed that people from the \u2018South-South\u2019 region in Nigeria where President Jonathan hails from would understand that \u2018their son has become a hero\u2019, adding that his actions prove the region is after a united Nigeria.<\/p>\n
