Election Delay: Churches, Prophets Boast Of Prophecy Fulfilment

Since the announcement of the postponement of the general elections by a week, some clerics and their followers have started boasting that the development is a fulfilment of their prophecies. 

The prophets, in videos posted on their various social media pages and promoted in paid adverts, also claimed that the shift in the election date confirmed that their callings were divine. 

Some Nigerians, however, said the men only exploited the weakness in the system to deceive their congregations. Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, a church in Warri, Delta State, made a 12-minute documentary to prove the accuracy of the prophecy of its General Overseer, Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin. Fufeyin, who reportedly hosted a church programme on February 7, was shown predicting that the election would be postponed.
