The founder and General Overseer of Christ Mercy land Deliverance Ministry, Effurun, Delta State, Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, has revealed how his prophecy concerning the 2019 presidential election and National Assembly elections came to past.
“Truly we have prophets and true prophets of God, so what a true prophet of God says must surely come to pass,” he told Vanguard.
“I gave this prophecy twice on February 7th and 8th that the elections will not hold that day (February 16th) and the prophecy came to pass.
“A lot of politicians called me and praised me as a true man of God. Above all, the prophecy makes people to believe that I am truly of God and also believe that the living God is working at Mercy City.
“This shows it is good to serve God; and even some prophets called me, saying they marveled at my prophecy that actually came to pass. How do you see the conduct of the general elections?
“This is a trying moment for Christians, especially the clergy and, it behoves on all of us as Christians to pray and seek the face of God for a peaceful and crisis-free exercise.
“We don’t have power of our own and, God Almighty is the ultimate and we should always draw closer to God in everything that we do.
“Don’t forget that God is the Alpha and Omega, he is the beginning and the end; he sees things differently from the way we see things too. God Almighty should come and assist us because he is the saviour of mankind.
“However, I detest unnecessary shedding of blood; in fact, there is no need we should be killing each other because of election because God Almighty in his throne of grace already knows those that will emerge victorious at the end of the exercise; so, we should stop killing ourselves for nothing: God created all of us to prosper and live together like brothers and sisters, so, why should we kill each other because it is in the Bible that we should allow brotherly love to continue and, also the Ten Commandment, says that: ‘Thou shall not kill,’ above all, we should stop the unwholesome attitude.”

Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he can do whatever he pleases with his money after the uproar generated by the bullion vans seen at his residence.
Just a day before the election, viral pictures on social media showed two bullion vans driving into Tinubu’s residence, as many people looked on — just outside the residence.
After voting in Alausa on Saturday, Tinubu was asked about the vans, in relation to the ongoing elections, and he said: “Bullion vans? Are those ballot paper?”
“Excuse me, is it my money or government money? I don’t work for the government, I am not in [any] agency of government. Let anybody come out to say I have taken any contract from the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last five years,” he said. “They should prove it. I am on my own, and I am committed to my party. So, even if I have money to spend in my premises, what is your headache?
“Excuse me, if I don’t represent any agency of government and I have money to spend, if I have money, if I like, I give it to the people free of charge. As long as not to buy votes.
“So, who are those watching my house and looking at Bullion vans? They must be mischief makers, they report falsehood, their lies are numerous, and it’s because they are jobless.”
Weeks before the election, the former Lagos State governor was caught on tape telling supporters of the APC that they would be handsomely rewarded if they delivered their wards.
The police has yet to react to the presence of bullion vans at his home even as Nigerians took to social media to slate the Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele, for colluding with the ruling APC.

“Whatever is going on is known to God. We are still together. He has never discussed all what he has been saying outside with me, so I don’t understand what he is driving at because we sleep in the same house. Well, he can continue saying whatever pleases him but I will not say anything bad about him. There is nobody I will discuss his matter with; I just leave him to God. God will judge between us.”
Asked if Sunday was displeased because she no longer gave him money, Olajumoke said,
“Now you understand what I have been saying. I do not need to break it down beyond that; you already know what I mean. I will not say anything bad about him. I have handed him to God.”

Boko Haram members have prevented Yobe state governor, Ibrahim Gaidam, from voting.
A statement from the Director General, Media affairs to the governor, Abdullahi Bego, said the early morning attacks by the sect members in the state prevented the governor from partaking in the exercise. He said the security agents advised the governor to sacrifice participating in the election.
This is because of the incident in Gaidam town early in the day, which has already been brought under control and voting is now underway there, the security agencies would naturally seek to reinforce and increase security around the governor for him to travel to cast his vote.
“That increased security around the governor will mean that vital security resources that are needed elsewhere in the state would have to be diverted and allocated to the governor.
“The government made the decision – in consultation with the security agencies – that it is better and more useful for the security agents, including soldiers, police, Civil Defence, DSS, etc to focus their attention on providing security for the election throughout the state.
“As things stand now, voting is going on successfully across the state and His Excellency Governor Gaidam is pleased and grateful to the people for the large turnout at polling units throughout the state”.
Governor Geidam, who is also a senatorial candidate in the Presidential and National Assembly election, commended security agencies for their effort to ensure a peaceful and successful election across the State.
