Popular Ibadan-based cleric, Bishop Wale Oke, has disclosed how God
instructed him to anoint Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to become President at a
time the former Head of State was just released from prison and had no
idea of what was in store for him.
He stated that he did this in Obasanjo’s Abeokuta, Ogun State home in
1999 on God’s instruction, even though the former ruler doubted the
possibility of him having another shot at the highest office in Nigeria.
Speaking with reporters in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on his 60th
birthday, the Presiding Bishop of Sword of the Spirit Ministries
recalled that God revealed that Obasanjo would be President after Gen.
Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), and that he (Oke) should anoint him for the
position.
Disclosing that he had asked pastors at his church in Ogun State if
they had contacts with the ex-military ruler but none of them knew him
directly, Oke said by God’s arrangement, a cleric of another church in
Abeokuta invited him to minister in his church, where he asked if he had
a personal contact with Obasanjo.
The man, according to Oke, said Obasanjo’s wife, the late Stella, worshiped at his church.
He disclosed that upon announcing to Obasanjo that he would be the
next President, “The man 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.”
