The just concluded Kenya presidential election that saw the deputy president, William Ruto surprisingly winning the election was the most tensed election Africa has had in recent times. This is due to the fact that actors in the election are majorly bigwig political leaders in the East African country.
The battle was between DP William Ruto and a well-experienced fifth-time contestant in Kenya presidential election, Hon Raila Odinga but the outcome of this election can best be described as astonishing especially for the fact that Raila Odinga was hugely and openly supported by the current president, Uhuru Kenyatta.
No doubt, every ‘sensible’ individual in Kenya knows that Odinga was the candidate to beat in the election because he has the resources and the support needed; there was nothing hidden in the fact that the president wanted him at all cost to succeed him against his deputy, William Ruto who has been at loggerheads with him since they secured their second term ambition.
Some of these factors made it impossible for the election to be predictable and as a matter of fact, everyone that had the guts to predict the outcome projected Raila Odinga, considering all he had on his side.
However, when all odds and predictions seem to be against DP William Ruto, one lone voice that gave an assurance of victory for him was that of Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele who has been talking about the presidential election in Kenya since 2020.
Checks have revealed that there was no prophet that revealed that William Ruto was going to win, it was a very difficult prophecy to make but because Primate Ayodele is a true man of God who doesn’t speak except God says a thing, He spoke ahead of time and gave some spiritual directions for William Ruto to secure his victory in the election.
His last statement about the election went viral especially in Kenya after it was published by notable newspapers in the East African country. Primate Ayodele was quoted saying without rigging in the election, William Ruto will be Kenya’s next president.
These were his words
“Without rigging, William Ruto will become Kenya’s next president and will make the country better for the people. Of paramount is that he should employ a new strategy and work more on Mount Kenya, the youth and women,’
“Ruto must follow up with the election closely because I see plans to rig the election. He must ensure he wins in the first round and, avoid court cases hanging around his victory.
“The DP should follow these instructions and must be very radical on the day of the election because if he isn’t careful, he will be robbed of his win,’’ (https://www.kenyans.co.ke/news/78030-nigerian-pastor-blasted-false-prophesies-predicts-ruto-win)
His prophecy was perceived by many as untrue due to the power at play, some called him names and promised to mock the prophet when it ‘fails’ but unfortunately, God’s name has been glorified with victory of William Ruto in the just concluded election.
