Popular Nigerian Cleric, His Grace, Prophet Ekong Ituen of Christ Deliverance Ministries {CDM} in Lagos, is known for his prophecies about politics and personalities as well as national issues. It is on record that in year 2017, during his cross-over service, where people thronged in to hear of God’s plan for them and Nigeria concerning 2018 and beyond, Prophet Ituen predicted that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was playing his last days in politics as he will not become the president of Nigeria. He urged him to retire from politics because he will be embarrassed by PDP Governors. “Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is playing his last days in politics, he will not become the president of Nigeria, I urge him to withdraw from the race and retire from politics to avoid shame as he will be abandoned and embarrassed by PDP Governors”
It is to be noted that Governors Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo State), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), have been at daggers drawn with Atiku since the conclusion of the party’s presidential primaries in May over their insistence that Ayu steps down for a member of the party from the southern part of the country.
Efforts made by the Atiku camp to make the aggrieved governors have a change of mind have yielded no result as they have consistently boycotted Atiku’s campaign rallies.
Any hope of Wike’s camp making up with Atiku’s became even more remote as the Rivers State governor declared that the PDP presidential candidate was on his own, declaring that neither he, nor his G5 governor allies, would work for the party’s presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, at next year’s elections as they would no longer dissipate their energy working for “their enemies”.
