Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy Fulfilled As Mali Junta Postpones Presidential Election
Sahara Weekly Reports That The presidential election planned for February in the military-ruled West African state of Mali has to be postponed “for technical reasons”, the transitional government announced on Monday.
The junta cited the updating of the electoral roll and problems with a census database following a dispute with the operating company as reasons.
This is another fulfillment of Primate Ayodele’s prophecy which he shared last year in a popular newspaper.
According to the prophet, the transition to civilian government will not be realistic in Mali. He made it known that there will be a crisis in the country and that the country will be sanctioned.
These were his words
“Another crisis will upturn the present transition in Mali, 18 months is not realistic and the country will face a major sanction, the leader should watch out for his health.”
(https://theeagleonline.com.ng/primate-ayodele-releases-fresh-prophecies-for-13-african-countries/)
The announcement by the military junta to postpone the election has confirmed the prophecy of Primate Ayodele.
Primate Ayodele has a record of fulfilled prophecies globally and Mali is one of the countries where he has been celebrated for foretelling significant events that has taken place there. It would be recalled that the military coup that ousted the civilian government was foretold by Primate Ayodele long before it happened.
When the junta leader, Colonel Assimi Goïta got into power, Primate Ayodele warned him to be careful of his movement as he foresees an assassination attempt on his life. This came to pass in 2021 when He was stabbed while praying in the mosque.
It would also be recalled that the Junta survived an attempted coup in 2022. This was also foretold by Primate Ayodele beforehand as he warned Colonel Goita to be careful because there will be attempts to destabilize his government.
These were his words
“The new Mali president will be working under serious pressure just for him not to extend his tenure, He will want to do better but let them pray against troubles, turmoil and attack. The president must watch his movement because rebels will want to destabilize his government. The junta of the military will need to call for the support of the international community,’’
There is still more to be heard concerning Mali from the global prophet and whether or not democracy will return to the country, Primate Ayodele will reveal in the coming days.
