20 Prophetic Utterances For 2015 That Did Not Come To Pass

Nigeria is a very religious country and at the beginning of every year, we expect men of God to come up with prophetic utterances which they expect to shape the people’s mindset for the year.

However predicting the future is a very difficult task as you will find out below...




1. Apostle Johnson Suleman

“With the level of bloodshed I saw, it is better Goodluck goes now to his village quietly. 2015 election is another June 12. The man who truly won will not govern or rule,” were the words of Apostle Johnson Suleiman of Auchi-based Omega Fire Ministry, implying that Jonathan was favoured to win but after that, violence may consume him.


2. Prophet Olaniyi Odutayo

Prophet Olaniyi Odutayo of the World Prophetic Church, Ikeja, had in the countdown to the March 28, 2015 presidential poll affirmed that God revealed to him that President Goodluck Jonathan would defeat three strong contenders to emerge victorious.

He said: “During the prayer/fasting, the Lord showed me three men trying to bury Goodluck Jonathan. Each one of them was trying to bury him one after the other, but as they pushed down his head, he rose up again. After the third man pushed down his head, he thought he had prevailed, he was already jubilating but suddenly Goodluck rose up.”

3. Prophet Joseph Oladipupo

Prophet Joseph Oladipupo is the shepherd in charge of Faith and Victory Church located in Akure, the Ondo State capital and one of those whose prophecies concerning the 2015 presidential elections never were.

According to him, God said Muhammadu Buhari, the major challenger of the then incumbent president, Jonathan, would not win.

The prophecy was that “The upcoming election will be very tough for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but they will win the presidency.”

4. Primate Elijah Ayodele

In January, 2013, founder and General Overseer of Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, predicted that God showed him Jonathan would continue to rule till 2019.

He said: “The 2015 elections will hold but will be peaceful in some areas and not in other areas. As it is, from what I see at the moment, PDP will win, amidst serious criticism.”


5. Alhaji Musa Ayeni

Alhaji Musa Ayeni was the Presidential candidate of the African Peoples Alliance (APA) and told newsmen that he had been ordained by God to take over the mantle of leadership from President Jonathan after May 29.

“I came into the race because God directed me to contest the election. God told me categorically that I will succeed President Goodluck Jonathan and I believe what God says, hence, my resolve to contest the forthcoming presidential election,” Ayeni said.

6. Prophet Paul Okikiiesu

A Lagos-based prophet, Paul Okikijesu, was not quite clear with his prediction, but said correctly that Buhari might be voted for.

According to him: “If Buhari can surrender his heart to me, he will win the election. Nevertheless despite people’s mandate, they will neither release power to him nor swear him in as the president of the nation. His situation will be similar to Abiola that had people’s mandate, but was not given the chance to rule the country.”

7. Guru Maharaji

Sat Guru Maharaji, the spiritual leader of One Love Family, stated categorically that, “There is no vacancy for Buhari at Aso Rock. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the verifiable divine choice of the forthcoming presidential election.”


8. Prophet Micheal Olubode

Prophet Micheal Olubode of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) was also sure of Goodluck Jonathan’s victory, declaring emphatically: “I want to let the people of Nigeria know that The Lord will return His Excellency, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to his presidential seat.”

9. Apostle B. B Frederick

Even Apostle B.B Frederick, a Ghanaian, declared based on ‘inspiration of the Almighty’ that “President Jonathan is the set man for Nigeria and his next term on the seat will bring liberation to Nigeria.”

10. Prophet Godfrey Gbujie

Prophet Godfrey Gbujie, who had predicted the deaths of former military ruler, Gen Sani Abacha and former president, Shehu Yar’Adua, told newsmen in Owerri that neither Goodluck Ebele Jonathan nor Gen Muhammadu Buhari would win in 2015.

His prediction was that, “Buhari has a mission divinely imposed on him, but he shall not rule this country again; even if he wins, God has not determined him to find His favour. Jonathan is the last elected president of this country.”

11. Pastor Dapo Adeniyi

Pastor Dapo Adeniyi stated that while Buhari may have good agendas to eradicate corruption in Nigeria, it was unfortunate that he would not win the election.

He said: “Though he will give Ebele Jonathan tough time, he will accuse the PDP of rigging the election, go to court but justice will not prevail. What a pity! I see him fainting and uncooperative to ensure the peace of Nigeria after his defeat.”

12. Dr Okhue Iboi

The national coordinator and spokesman of Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria (WITZAN), Dr Okhue Iboi also had his prediction.

He said: “I don’t see General Mohammadu Buhari ruling this country. We don’t have a political party but if anyone seeks our help, we shall render it. There was a time witches in Benue State invited other witches across the country to offer prayers for the Senate President, David Mark, against impeachment. We flew to Otukpo and later to a village called Owetor. That was where we offered the prayers.”

13. Reverend Saviour Awusi

Reverend Saviour Awusi, the founder and General Overseer of God’s Divine Favour Evangelical Church, Okota, Lagos also made prophecies at the beginning of the year.

“Thus says the Lord: ‘By my mercy, President Jonathan would surely win this year’s presidential election. And all those who are against him shall be put to shame,” he said.

14. Babatunde Elijah Ayodele

The founder of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, came up with some prophecies too.

Aehad of the election, he said: “Kaduna is going to be very bloody. PDP may take Kaduna, but it’s going to be by narrow margin. Yobe, Gombe, Benue, Delta, Akwa Ibom, all those states will be won by PDP.”

On the presidential election, the man of God said: “This election is a lesson for him and there are still lessons for him to learn if he now gets it back. He still needs a lot of prayers. But in the midst of all the ups and downs, he may still have a very slim chance of winning the election. I don’t see any landslide victory at all between him and Buhari. At the end of the day, PDP will win the federal, but the party will crash after the election.”

15. Archbishop John Obiokeke

Archbishop John Obiokeke of God Pentecostal Mission Churches is reputed to have made some predictions which came to pass. However, his predictions on the 2015 presidential election seem to have missed the mark.

“God is saying that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock. For reasons best known to him, Jonathan, even though will rig, is still going to be the president,” he predicted.

16. Pastor Success Ibeakanma

Pastor Success Ibeakanma, the senior pastor of Royal Choice Ministries, Lagos, made a prophecy early this year pointing to the 2015 election. He said: “In the presidential election of 2015, APC will try but PDP will win.”

17. Primate Theophilus O. Olabayo

Theophilus Olabayo, the founder of Evangelical Church of Yahweh, Lagos, somehow got it wrong on who had the divine seal to win the presidential election, and also missed the target on who was to become Lagos state governor.

“God has revealed to me that if at all there is going to be a presidential election, it will be inconclusive just like the June 12, 1993, election that we had during the time of late Chief M.K.O Abiola,” the Primate stated.

“Jimi Agbaje will have more support of the people, and this is what will cause uproar in some circles if at all there is going to be an election. Jimi Agbaje will have the upper-hand because the candidate that should have won the election for APC was not given the chance to be presented as the party’s governorship candidate in Lagos. APC should have presented Ganiyu Solomon, he was God’s anointed candidate,” he stated about the Lagos state governorship polls.

18. Pastor Emeka Agwu

Pastor Emeka Agwu, the General Overseer, Voice of Evangelism International, Houston, Texas, USA in a prayer session organised for Dr Jonathan’s victory ahead of the election, stated: “They want Jonathan resigned or changed, but God has given Jonathan the 2015 election key of victory.”

19. Brother Joshua Iginla

Prophet Joshua Iginla is the founder of Champions Royal Assembly, a new-generation church based in Abuja. He also made predictions about the presidential election.

He said: “I am not a politician nor do I belong to any political party. I am just speaking God’s mind. The person sitting on the seat might not be perfect but he will retain the seat. It’s not guesswork… President Jonathan will win, but he has to pray about his health and so many political blows.”

20. Primate Elijah Ayodele

'I predicted that (former Independent National Electoral Commission chairman, Prof Maurice) Iwu will be removed and it came to pass. Let me tell you categorically that (Prof Attahiru) Jega does not have a solution to election rigging in Nigeria. Jega will disappoint Nigerians'

“Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega will be confused during the polls. There will be several gimmicks to cajole the INEC to rig the election. Prayers must be offered so that the commission will not lose some of its staff to accident or attack before and during the election. E-voting will not work. There will be ballot box snatching and stuffing during the election.”
