Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, the general overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, has warned prophets who are fond of predicting elections in the country to abstain from the heinous practise.
Olukoya, who argued that the House of God’s pulpits are for speaking truth to God’s children and should not be used for political campaigns for politicians, made this claim during the sermon on Sunday at the church’s main location while bemoaning the number of Christian clerics who incorrectly predicted the results of the 2023 elections.
He claimed that by making erroneous prophecies about their favoured politicians in the run-up to the electrons, the so-called prophets dishonoured the Christian religion.
Pastor Olukoya stated that: “You see what happened in Nigeria during these last elections, disgraced the religion of Christianity very well. This prophet said this person would win, and this would not win.”

“‘If this one wins, I will become a herbalist, if this one wins, let them cut off my hand, if this one wins this, this one will die before his wish.’
“All did not come to pass, and they call themselves prophets. Prophets of where? It is madness when you begin to say what God does not ask you to say. The pulpit in the house of God is the pillar and ground of truth. It is not for political campaigns.”
Recall that although President Bola Tinubu was declared the winner of the February 25 presidential election, many Nigerian clerics came out to predict the outcome of the 2023 elections, virtually confusing the general public.
