A cleric Godfrey Gbujie has warned those opposing the 2023 ambition of the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Mr.Peter Obi to steer clear of their plot against him.
Gbuije, who is the leader of World Zionist Union, South-East Nigeria, said Obi’s ambition and the massive support by youths and many Nigerians for his presidency is not ordinary. He also called for intense prayers ahead of next year’s general elections.
The cleric, who made the call yesterday during a press conference in Awka the Anambra’ state capital, warned that Nigerians might witness surprises due to the level of problems that would engulf the country.
He said: “The level of problems we are recording now will be a child’s play to what we shall happen next year, let everyone pray and prepare because things might not be easy.”
The 67-year-old cleric, who hails from Akabo Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo, noted that blood of the innocent killed and cries of millions deprived of justice are before God.
He pointed out that since May 29, 1995 the country had moved three steps backward due to sins, noting that everyone regardless of tribe and creed must join in the prayers.
Gbujie had before this year’s presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) predicted that former governor of Anambra, Mr Peter Obi would emerge the PDP candidate.
But Obi later defected to the Labour Party where he is now flying the flag as party’s presidential candidate, a situation the man of God expressed shock.

Reacting, Gbujie said Obi has strong spiritual forces backing his 2023 presidential aspiration. “What is happening around Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 presidential election is not ordinary and everybody, especially those in authority, should be very careful.
“I am saying this because nothing happens accidentally in the religious, economic and socio-political realms. The hand of God is behind what is happening around Peter Obi, especially the support from the youths.”
“This calls for serious warning for those at the corridors of power, Obi, Alhaji Bola Tinubu and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and many others have been listed among actors to fulfill the divine plans for the country,” he said.
