2024 prophecy on next Edo governor

In the build-up to the 2020 Edo governorship election, Prophet Emmanuel, in 2019, declared that he saw the “oil of continuity on Godwin Obaseki’s head". At the time, Obaseki, the incumbent Edo governor, was seeking reelection to complete his constitutionally-allowed eight-year tenure.

Speaking in a video posted on his known Facebook page, Prophet Emmanuel dashed the hope of the APC and LP concerning the forthcoming poll.

The cleric stated that Governor Obaseki would "transfer the oil that remains" to Ighodalo.

He said:

"Now, I want to announce who Obaseki would hand over to.
"I saw a revelation in the spirit. And as The Lord opened my eyes, I saw the three major parties, which is APC, PDP and Labour. As these appear before me, I saw a flag representing the three parties. The first that appeared number one was that of the PDP. The second one was that of the APC, and the third one was that of the Labour. That is how the (final) result will appear."

"I saw it loud and clear that he was sworn in as the next governor of Edo state.
