During the New Year, singer-turned-pastor, Soul E, posted some
prophecies on his Facebook page which was welcomed with criticism. Most of the
critics were of the opinion that he was seeking for attention.
Among his prophecies was the fact that popular Nollywood
actor-turned-politician, Desmond Elliot, has a very slim chance of winning the
forthcoming Lagos State House of Assembly election.
In a chat, he claimed that his prophecy is from God and denied that he
is seeking for attention.
He said, “I have nothing against Desmond Elliot, we are not friends and
we are not enemies. When I prophesy, I don’t do it because I want attention,
neither do I do it because I want people to listen to me. By the grace of God,
last year, we went to 17 nations preaching the gospel. Prophecy is for prayers
and for people to know the mind of God. It amazes me the way Nigerians abuse
men of God over prophecies. I am not saying that Desmond Elliot will win or not
but what I saw in the vision was that he has a very slim chance of winning. His
case is like a camel passing through the eye of a needle. I spoke in parables
but when I saw it online, they claimed that I said he would lose. I really
don’t care.”
The pastor also said this year’s election would be full of surprises and
that it would be a replica of the June 12, 1993 election.
“There were so many things I saw but did not post online. I saw so many top
comedians retrogressing while the young ones will come up because of their
pride. Because they have sold out shows with a lot of people attending, they
have become proud, forgetting that the same God that put them up can bring them
down. I also saw that this election will spring up a lot of surprises and it
will be like June 12. This election will not be different from the 1993
election because the person that will truly win will not get on the throne,”
Soul E said.
Reacting to his comment, Desmond Elliot via a text message said that he
is sure Soul E has a reason for his utterances.
He said, “If he said that, I am sure he has his reasons. I count myself
blessed and fortunate to be given the opportunity to even aspire, scale through
the primaries and contest. And when victory is given, I will be humble enough
to render service to my constituents and state. What an honour indeed.”
