Keyamo bombs Nigerian pastors: 'You've failed terribly in your so-called prophesies'

Festus Keyamo, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Labour and Employment has attacked Nigerian pastors whose so-called prophesies concerning the last presidential election failed so terribly.

He said it was very unfortunate that some so-called ‘men of God’ equated their own personal biases as the ‘will of God’ and misled their congregations.

Keyamo, in a tweet on Wednesday, said after they failed terribly in their prophesies about the elections, they now sought to hide their frustration and justify their failure on some human factors like ‘election manipulation’ as if human factors could actually truncate what God had ordained.

He wondered why the pastors did not foresee those ‘human factors’ in their initial prophecies, adding that they were actually mocking God and calling His name in vain.

He wrote: “It is very unfortunate that some so-called ‘men of God’ now equate their own personal biases as the ‘will of God’ and mislead their congregations along such ignoble path.

“After failing so terribly in their so-called prophesies about the elections, they now seek to hide their frustration and justify their failure on some human factors like ‘election manipulation’ as if human factors can actually truncate what God has ordained.
