Presiding Bishop of Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Bishop Wale Oke has revealed he anointed Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to become President in his Abeokuta, Ogun State home in 1999 on God’s instruction.
Oke, made this known while addressing reporters in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on his 60th birthday.
The cleric recalled that God revealed that Obasanjo would be President after Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd), adding that he (Oke) should anoint him for the position.
At that time, Oke recalled, Obasanjo had just been released from prison and had no idea about what was awaiting him.
The cleric said he asked pastors at his church in Ogun State if they had contacts with the former Head of State but none of them knew him directly.
He said by God’s arrangement, a cleric of another church in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, invited him to minister in his church, where he asked if he had a personal contact with Obasanjo.
The man, according to Oke, said Obasanjo’s wife, the late Stella, worshipped at his church.
On announcing to Obasanjo that he would be the next President, Oke said: “The man said: ‘No. What did I forget at the State House that I want to go back for?’ But he did not prevent me from anointing him, as directed by God.”Oke said Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (retd) visited Obasanjo two weeks after he anointed him and dragged him into politics. “The rest is history today.” He said.
