The Founder and Spiritual Head of Shafaudeen in Islam Worldwide, Professor Sabit Ariyo Olagoke JP has warned Nigerians against fire disaster, while also calling the political class to imbibe the culture of tolerance, and focus on giving back to the masses just as he urged religious leaders to imbibe the culture of religious harmony to promote peace and be more dedicated to God.
The Islamic cleric who gave the charge In his 2023 prophecies made available to newsmen, noted that “good governance is a function of godly leadership (Q38 vs. 26) and bad governance is a dividend of bad leadership (Daniel 5 vs. 25-28).
“Therefore, divine revelations are predicted for proactive measures in management, administration and rebranding for proper socialization.
“Correct cultural and ethical value orientation for promotion of integrity, and discipline for all must therefore be put in place to allow divine intervention in revamping our economy. To promote healthy and stable polity, the principle of equity is very much needed too in practice,” he said.
Olagoke revealed that the New Year would witness threats of secession by one of the agitators, but that the bid would fail if proactive measures are taken.
The cleric assured that the 2023 general elections will hold despite security challenges and that the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands a better chance to emerge victorious in the elections.
He said that the chances of the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, might be hindered by the internal crisis in the party, while the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi may suffer from the antecedents of the suspicious movement of his tribe; the Igbos.
He added that the preparation of the Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwakwanso is not enough to give him the desired acceptability.
He also predicted that specific incidents within the polity, such as cross-carpeting and blackmailing, will lead to the fall of some politicians.
According to him, a bad economy and brain drain syndrome would be addressed in the New Year and called however called for prayers against another stalemate in the education sector in the country.
