With my career spanning close to three decades in the media with half of it dedicated to covering religious issues, I am acquainted with numerous Preachers, Prophets, Bishops, Apostles, Archbishops etc and I can say their attitude and styles are not different from each other except for few who strive to live a distinct exemplary lifestyle.
Nigeria and Africa at large are not strange to Prophets and their prophecies. This set of people top the chart among rank and files of leadership in Christendom. In Nigeria, many Prophets have come and gone and many are still rising daily.
In the past, Nigerians have witnessed the likes of Primate Olabayo who dazzles the world with his prophetic acumen. The Prophet Oshitelu, the late Prophet Adewole and Primate Ayodele who indisputably is still the only man standing among those men.
I came across Primate Ayodele, T. B Joshua, Prophet Tibetan, and Prophet Wale Olagunju in the early 2000 as a young editor of a soft sell Journal.
In the subsequent year, I met Prophet Okiki Jesu, Primate Akeju, Prophet Bisi Olujobi and a host of others with whom I share a close relationship to date.
If we are to write on religion, I can say emphatically that I know most of the history of virtually all religious preachers today in the country, but Primate Ayodele whom I refer to as the undisputable king of prophecies is different in all ramifications among them.
Primate Ayodele Elijah Babatunde has been in the prophetic ministry since 1993. During this period, Primate Ayodele came into the limelight when he gave prophecies that General Abacha would not witness the year 2010 when the latter was unveiling his vision for 2010.
Thereafter, Primate Ayodele was the only Prophet then who saw clearly that MKO Abiola would not ascend the presidential throne and that his wife Kudirat Abiola would be sacrificed on the altar of politics, which all came to pass.
Primate Ayodele who enjoys considerate patronage of the media since then is still available to date churning out accurate prophecies for nations, organisations and individuals when others have all gone under.
In the year 2006, Primate Ayodele made a shocking revelation which became a sensation in the tabloid then, that President Yar’Adua was going to die in office.
A few months after the prophecy, the president died in office and this made me put a close observation on the man Primate Ayodele as what manner of man is this?
Primate Ayodele today stands atop the prophetic ministry, a calling which he has served distinctively, and he needs to be applauded. The prophetic ministry will continuously be gracious for having a steadfast, diligent and innovative servant like Primate Ayodele who has turned the prophetic ministry around with others following.
Primate Ayodele with the respect he commands has broken the jinx that prophets are not honoured in their country. Primate Ayodele remains the first to launch a prophetic book which serves as a spiritual catalyst to nations, organisations and individuals, etc. Our Primate is indeed the undisputable king of the prophetic ministry as it stands today.
