Nigerian witches warn Tinubu •Say he will lose political empire

A bizarre event unfolded on Saturday as a group which called itself the Witches & Wizards Association of Nigeria (WITZAN) warned a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bola Tinubu, against relying on his close aides to prosecute the 2015 general election, saying they would betray him.

The group’s position was made known via a communique signed by its president, Dr Okhue Iboi.

According to WITZAN, in a report obtained from Trentonline, Tinubu’s political empire would crumble following the betrayal he would be subjected to by his political associates.

“This betrayal will affect his political empire.

“Tinubu’s political dynasty is under threat of crumbling,’’ it said.

The group, while stating that Tinubu is a good man, however urged the APC leader to accept what it called the bitter truth, namely that the APC would not win the 2015 general election.

According to the WITZAN president, “Many top notchers of PDP that are in APC now will go back to PDP. Witches said so in November last year and it happened.

“I’m telling the whole world again today that many former PDP leaders that are now in APC will betray Tinubu and other APC leaders, they will go back to PDP this year, and before the 2015 general election.”

The WITZAN president, who stated that the association was deeply worried by the situation in the country, especially the Boko Haram insurgency, added that the association had a meeting following a distress call by witches in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno, where members discussed the insurgency.

“As stakeholders in the Nigerian project, we can no longer afford to fold our hands while the nation burns. Enough is enough.

“Jonathan will win re-election.

“Although there will be pockets of violence, Jonathan will win,” he said.

Oboi appealed to APC chieftain, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) and Tinubu not to waste their money, time and energy on the poll, saying “They should go home and rest, and forget about becoming President or Vice President of Nigeria.

“APC will still lose more governors to PDP before this year runs out.”

He added that the association had correctly predicted the suspension of former CBN governor and Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, last November, and that he would face many challenges in the months to come.

“Many people then labelled us fakes but what happened thereafter?

“Sanusi was ignominiously removed from office without completing his tenure.

“What we see before Sanusi is myriad of woes; his road will be rough.

“Turbulent days lie ahead of him, he should not rejoice yet.

“He will experience trouble within and outside the emirate.

“His enemies are many, and to make matters worse for him, he had stepped on powerful toes,” he said.

“He needs all the prayers in this world to survive the turmoil looming before him,” he said.
