Bishop Francis Wale Oke, who is the Presiding Bishop of Sword of the Spirit Ministries, has said that he anointed former President Olusegun Obasanjo as President following instructions he received from God.
Oke said this while addressing reporters in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on his 60th birthday.
The cleric recalled that God revealed that Obasanjo would be President after Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd), adding that he (Oke) should anoint him for the position.
According to Oke, on announcing to Obasanjo that he would be the next President, Obasanjo said: ‘No. What did I forget at the State House that I want to go back for?’ But he did not prevent me from anointing him, as directed by God.”
Oke said Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (retd) visited Obasanjo two weeks after he anointed him and dragged him into politics.
“The rest is history today.” He said.
Oke urged President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to diversify the economy and improve its communication with Nigerians to enable them realise that the current economic problem is global.
