“The over 1,000 clergymen and other brethren in the Lord who assembled in this conclave are here to pray and fast for the emergence of an ideal leader for Nigeria in 2023.

“And in the eyes of men and as revealed by the Holy Spirit, we have heard a voice from the wilderness, chanting loudly and calling on the underrated David,  the son of Jesse in the person of His Excellency, Gov. Yahaya Adoza Bello, to take over the throne of his forebears as Nigeria’s next President in 2023.

“And in accordance with the directive of the Holy Spirit, we have the rare privilege and honor to re-baptise him as we are gathered now. Therefore, on this divine mission and today, Gov. Bello  will be known and called Yahaya Adoza “David” Bello  henceforth.

“It has been prophesied and by the grace of God, through this prayerful intercessions, Yahaya Adoza David Bello is the anointed son who will lead Nigeria from May 2023 to great battles and God will give him victory over all adversaries.”

Also speaking, Sheik Mahmoud Abubakar, called on Nigerians to pray for Bello as he pursues his presidential ambition.

According to Abubakar, “If we must admit, it is that time of the year again, when all sorts of promises are made in the quest to gain favours from the electorate. They will also come with empty promises to deceive the people and once they get what they want, they leave the people in misery.

“I can tell you all that our convergence here is not for the cameras, but an avenue to render prayers for one of the most patriotic Nigerians in the person of Governor Yahaya Bello, who has signified interest to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

“We trust Governor Yahaya Bello to lead Nigeria in the right direction. We send our prayers on his behalf to Allah SWT. We are grateful. We are happy and we pray that once again, we shall all come back to this ground in the company of President Yahaya Bello to return all the glory and thanks to Allah SWT for all his grace and mercies.”
