‘Pastors should pray for peace of Nigeria, not prophesy who will become the President, Governor’ – Prophet Jeremiah Edet
The General Overseer of Arena Of Solution International Church, Prophet Jeremiah Edet has expressed his dissatisfaction over prophets who have made the outcome of elections their priority instead of praying for peace during the election in the nation.
He said what they should be talking about isn’t who will win the election because during the rallies conducted so far, there has been so many killings which shows how deadly the election might become and the only solution should be prayer for peace.
‘’ What we should talk about is the poor masses, everyone has a way of protecting themselves, I have gone online and seen prophets who has said God said a particular person will be the president or Governor, that isn’t what we should be talking about, we should pray for the peace of the nation. In the rallies concluded, there was disaster, people died, these are peoples relative, if the 2019 election is starting like this, imagine what will happen in the election , we should look unto God for help not discussing who is going to win because this will cause problem, at the end of the day it will look like God is lying but God didn’t say a word. What I will say is whoever God has chosen, God should lead him right and bring peace to Nigeria’’
He also talked about the current administration’s performance under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, he noted that the failure or the success of the administration so far relies on the cabinet members and that if he has failed, it’s because of the cabinet members. He however talked about his prophecy about Nigeria’s Governance.
‘’I won’t say they did well or not, every leadership has structures and leadership is getting things done through people. I believe the government was led by people also in the cabinet so if he failed they made him fail and the prophecy I’m seeing for Nigeria is that God will bring forth a leader that will finally accept the church, the people, a man that is passionate, change the nation for everyone. Our soldiers are being killed day and night, their dreams are cut shot and destinies are gone. I know God will bring people who will have passion for the military, the economy will change.
No doubt, a lot of church leaders today have some kind of hostility for each other, some have confronted each other in public, during live services which baffles a lot of people. Prophet Jeremiah Edet has made it known that leaders who do that are not called
‘’One thing about ministry is you have to know it’s a gift and a call, some men of God have gift, but don’t have call, anyone that have gift will just open a church but there is a difference between having a gift and the call, God gave u a gift and is calling you to ministry that means you have a task , the bible says Go into the world, preach the gospel not fight.
Pastors fight each other because of fame, recently I saw a pastor that bought a private jet meanwhile there are poor masses in the hospital that can’t afford bills, this money can go a long way, everyone wants to be heard, wants to be on TV, wants to have the highest number. If truly we are all called, our vision should be to be to liberate people from the world of darkness. We should understand church isn’t competition’’.

In a goodwill message issued by him, he described the victory as “a historic moment for the Remo people, coming at a time when the constituency yearns for a leader with vision, courage, and genuine commitment to service.”
He noted that the outcome of the election was an attestation to the trust and confidence reposed in Hon. Ayoola-Elegbeji by the people, adding that her sterling qualities, integrity, accessibility, and compassion for the grassroots had endeared her to the electorate.
“The overwhelming support you garnered at the polls is proof that you are the right voice at the right time to carry the aspirations of Remo to the national stage,” he stated.

Ayoola-Elegbeji’s emergence symbolizes the continuity of purposeful representation. He expressed confidence that she would not only sustain the legacy of her predecessor but also surpass it with new energy, innovative ideas, and progressive leadership.

Olowu Celebrates Former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, At 84
Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Dr Hammed Oyelude Makama, CON, Tegbosun III, has congratulated former military president, Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, rtd, who is 84 today.
Olowu, in a statement he signed, eulogised the former military ruler for his modest achievements while he was in power.
According to Olowu, ” IBB is an enigma. He has carved a niche for himself as a former military president. His tenure witnessed the completion of many monumental legacy projects that are still visible today. His Hill Top Mansion in Minna has become a Mecca of sorts for those who aspired to lead Nigeria.”
Olowu, who described Gen Babangida as being grossly misunderstood, said history would be kind to him.
He said, “The launch of Gen Babangida’s Autobiography: ‘A Journey In Service’, and the testimonies from the likes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Abdusalam Rabiu, Oil Magnate, Arthur Eze, and many others, testified to his goodwill despite leaving public office three decades ago.
” On behalf of myself, my Oloris and Olowu-In-Council.
All members of the defunct IBB Vision 2003 and Vision 2007, I wish President Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, a happy birthday. I also wish him all the best as he aged gracefully,” Olowu added.
Born on August 17, 1941, Gen Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.
His presidency was marked by significant political and economic reforms.
