The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye, claims that God has not revealed to him who will be Nigeria’s President in 2023.
RCCG’s 2022 Crossover Service was held at the International Headquarters along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, he stated.

Adeboye stated that prophecy is not a game of chance, and that he has no idea who will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
“I just want to give you a hint of what Daddy (God) has planned for the New Year,” he stated. There are many different types of prophets. As a result, you will hear a variety of forecasts in the following days. I’m speaking to you, my children, not to anyone else. It is my responsibility to ensure that I teach my own children.
“When God speaks, He speaks with authority. He doesn’t say “could be” or “might be.” So, if someone says, “It’s likely one of the following people will succeed,” that’s not a prediction; it’s a personal opinion. When God speaks, He will say things like, “This fellow will succeed, and that fellow will not.” God communicates in this manner; He does not say, ‘It is likely.'”
The 79-year-old cleric reminisced after being asked in 1993 who he thought would become Nigeria’s President. As President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria at the time, Adeboye said he was approached by fellow pastors who wanted to know who would win the presidential election between MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party and Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention during the military’s planned transition to civilian rule.
“When God speaks, some of what He says may baffle your brain a little,” the clergyman remarked. Let me give you an illustration. I’ve always told you that I’m not a prophet; I’m just a pastor who occasionally hears from God.
“There were three people running for President of Nigeria a few years ago: (MKO) Abiola, Aminu Kano, and (Bashir) Tofa. I was President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria at the time, and other Pentecostals asked, “Sir, what do we do?” Who are we going to vote for? They are three in number, and they are all Muslims. ‘Sir, who do you think will win?’ ‘None,’ I answered. ‘How can that be?’ they exclaimed. When you throw a coin, it will either land on its head or tail.’ ‘None,’ I answered.
“They asked, ‘Why?'” says the narrator. God told me, so I said it. He told stories in parables. He claimed that the loser will be the winner, and that Aminu Kanu will be the luckiest of them all. Aminu Kanu passed away just before the election. Abiola won, but he never ascended to the throne, while the loser avoided the shame of winning but not reigning. The loser is the winner, and the winner is the loser; the one who died was the luckiest of them all. When it was over, my coworkers approached me and remarked, ‘Well, it appears as if you really heard.’
