**Nigerians Await His 2015 Presidential Prophecy
Several Zambians have hailed the prophesy of a popular Nigerian prophet, Brother Joshua Iginla, who predicted that Edgar Lungu would win the Zambian elections in 2015.
Iginla made his prophecy during a crossover service held in the night of December 31, 2014 at his church, Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja.
“Zambia will have a peaceful election, but little rancour here and there. The new president will emerge from the same political party from the ex-president. The name of the winner would be Edgar Lungu. And the winning party is called Patrotic Front. They will experience discovery of new mineral resources this year. The new president should carry his people along so that what happened to his predecessors won’t befall him, especially two years into his tenure,” the man of God had said during the service.
The prediction, which was broadcast live and published in most newspapers, sparked off controversies. According to our source in Zambia, “When we heard the predictions, we were shocked but due to the respect we have for the Nigerian prophet especially after his prophesy which helped our national team to qualify for the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, we believed his word.”
Another Zambian, Mr Chibuta, revealed that, “Immediately the Christian community in Zambia got the predictions, they made it their ringing tone and that really changed the game of things. As you can see, the opposition was the favourite candidate but for Lungu to win, it means God has a purpose”
Insiders within the Zambian government squealed to us that Lungu has confided in them that when he has settled down, he would visit Abuja to pay homage to the Nigerian prophet, who was bold enough to predict his victory even when the odds were against him. And that he will consult him for the mind of God over the Nation of Zambia.
The Zambian presidential election was won by the Defence and Justice Minister, Edgar Lungu of the Patriotic Front.
Lungu won by a 48.3% majority, the election commission said, after an election race marred by delays.
His rival, Hakainde Hichilema of the United Party for National Development, who earlier denounced Tuesday’s election as a sham, came close with 46.7% of the vote.
The election was called after the death of President Michael Sata in October 2014.
Lungu, who will be sworn in on Sunday, said he aims to complete economic development projects begun by his predecessor.
On Saturday, Hichilema called the “election” stolen, accusing the electoral commission of manipulating the results to favour Lungu, a former lawyer.
Following Sata’s death, Zambia was ruled by Guy Scott, a white Zambian of Scottish descent.
He was prohibited from contesting the election because his parents were not born in Zambia.
Scott was the first white president in mainland Africa for 20 years and has been involved in Zambian politics since the 1990s.
Though he was close to Sata and served as his running mate, his relationship with Lungu is less cordial.
In November 2014, he sacked Lungu as the Patriotic Front’s Secretary-General, prompting riots in the country.
Meanwhile, the Abuja based clergy also predicted that although he doesn’t know why but God told him Jonathan will still win the 2015 election.
