President of the Nigerian Women in Clergy, Prophetess
Nonnie Roberson has called for the cancellation of the
2015 elections, a call she said was in the best interest
of the country. She however said if the elections
eventually hold, President Goodluck Jonathan will win,
but many lives will be lost.
"I know the president is going to win the presidential
election because I prayed and a lot others have
prayed too. The sceptre has not been taken away
from him, but it is going to be very close and
intense," the prophetess told Vanguard in an
interview.
"My fear is that there will be a lot of bloodshed,"
she said.
Prophetess Nonnie said she wished the government
would yield to calls in favour of the cancellation of the
2015 elections, coming from some quarters, as going
ahead with the election may be disastrous.
"I wish they can heed that call and cancel the
elections because more people will die if we go ahead
to conduct the election as scheduled. Even in the
course of the electioneering campaigns, people will
die," she predicted.
She however said her group, Women in Clergy, has
been praying and fasting, but noted that faith without
work is dead. So, "we are getting involved. We are
working with a lot of female aspirants, trying to
encourage and push them. The next thing is to embark
on a mass sensitisation project to tell Nigerians what is expected of them. Votes will count this time around;
so we will encourage people to vote based on their
individual conviction. We will tell them to collect their
money and rice if they bring them, but vote your
conscience.
"We have also been able to set up our zonal bodies
with strong women of God taking charge of the zones.
They are organising and talking and very soon, the
state and local government chapters will be up and
running. We will not fold our arms and watch things
go the same way it has always gone. It is no longer business as usual," Roberson said.
