Another Prophecy Fulfilled: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s Revelation on President Buhari’s Death

 

Renowned prophetic voice and spiritual leader, Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, has once again stirred global and spiritual conversations with the fulfillment of one of his recent prophecies—this time concerning the passing of a former Nigerian president.

 

 

 

On May 1st, the prophet reportedly received a vision, which he publicly shared on May 19th, saying:

 

“I saw very clearly by grace a portrait—like that of a president or ex-president—and I saw a lot of condolence messages pouring in. I can’t state which part of the world, but I saw the portrait of a leader going beyond. I tried to ignore it when it came on the 1st of May, but it kept coming again and again. Today, I say, let us pray.”

Later, on July 4th, Prophet Aitafo released another prophetic warning:

 

“Let’s pray very well from July till the end of the year. We don’t want to lose great names and great people in Nigeria and around the world. I mean great, great names. Let us also pray against water disasters in many places globally—heavy havoc. Let’s help China in prayer, that their nation won’t face a crisis or sudden destruction of properties and economy. Let’s pray against war in some countries and keep asking God for peace across the globe. Wildfires will be rampant in Europe and some other regions. Tinubu will emerge again in 2027. The ADC party will face internal crises.”
