ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Pastor Chris Okafor, Founder, Grace Nation International, has expressed hope that God may use President Bola Tinubu to bring positive change to Nigeria.
He said although he has huge respect for the Tinubu, he is not a fan of the President.
Pastor Okafor described President Tinubu as a focused personality who refused to be moved by all manner of negative publicity against him.
The Cleric spoke to journalists at his office inside the Grace Nation International, also known as the Liberation City, in Lagos State.
He further insisted that he does not dabble in politics and had his reservations about the former Lagos Governor contesting for the presidency.
Okafor said even now that Tinubu has become the President: “I still have my reservations. I would’ve preferred that he did not contest at all.”

The cleric added: “I must admit I have also come to respect the man in a way. I don’t know too many men his age who can withstand what he endured before, during and after the election.”
According to him, the President was insulted, abused and called all sorts of names but he just kept his eyes on his target, which was becoming the President, and continued to work towards it and even went ahead to campaign in every part of the country.
Describing President Tinubu as “a strong man”, Pastor Okafor said he (Tinubu) stayed calm till the end.
Asked if he thinks Tinubu’s government will do well, he said that it was too early to say and as a pastor he tries very hard not to get involved in such predictions.
He however, noted that God works in mysterious ways, hence can use Tinubu to turn the country around for good, “even if a large number of Nigerians don’t like him.”
“If you recall, months before the election, I released a prophecy saying that the man most people want to win the election will not win it, it is the most despised man that will win it,” he added.
