The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has said that the much-anticipated 2019 general election may not hold.
The revered cleric said continued killings across the country may make the election impossible.
Adeboye added that the killings could even threaten the very existence of the nation if left unchecked.
He made the proclamation at the May edition of the monthly Holy Ghost Service of the church which held at the Redemption Camp.
According to him, Christians, especially members of the church, needed to unite to pray for Nigeria’s corporate existence and for an end to the killings.
Adeboye explained that a bishop had approached him for a revelation on the winner of the 2019 presidential election but he told him in reply that the election itself may not hold.
The popular preacher however said it was his personal opinion that elections may not hold, not a prophecy from God.
He said, “There is no father that will lose 19 children in a day and not been quite it doesn’t matter the domination. All Christians in Nigeria call me daddy, so when anyone of them dies it’s my son that is dead.
“We need to pray because unless these killings stop immediately even Nigeria may not live. We are not talking about individually we are talking about Nigeria itself.
“A bishop asked me sometimes ago what God has revealed to me about 2019 election.
“I told him I am not sure there would be an election because unless these killings stop, there may be no election next year. I’m not prophesying but this is so because no one will go out to vote if not sure they will return home safely.
“I have seen war at a close range, there is nothing good about it. A nation may survive a civil war but no nation can survive a religious war and remain the same.
“That Nigeria may live and not experience religious war these killings must stop.”
