A source at the Presidency in Abuja said Prophet TB Joshua
has so much control over President Goodluck Jonathan right now that whatever he
requests is granted without delay because the president believes that the
prophet holds the spiritual key to his electoral success in 2015.
The revelations are quite mind-blowing. Read the full gist
below:
Sources have told Sahara Reporters that last week’s
“judicial decision” which set Hamza Al-Mustapha free of murder charges is owed
to President Goodluck Jonathan, who was following a “spiritual” fortune-telling
that would enable him to win the 2015 election.
Pastor TB Joshua, who has Mr. Jonathan eating out of his
hands, has been identified as the person who told the Nigeria leader that his
political fortune rests with setting Al-Mustapha free.
In addition, Mr. Joshua has also told Mr. Jonathan if he is to
win in 2015, he needs to bring back to Nigeria James Ibori, the former Delta
State governor who is currently serving a 13-year jail term in the United
Kingdom.
After TB Joshua's spiritual “forecast” was told to Jonathan,
Sahara Reporters sources say he instructed the Attorney General and Minister of
Justice, Mohammed Adoke to take care of the judges involved in the case, giving
him a war chest of $2 million.
But a judge, Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, a Northern Muslim, who
was earlier contacted to do the dirty job, refused to accept the bribe and
removed himself from consideration of the plan.
Another judge, Amina Augie, was then drafted to handle the
Al-Mustapha’s acquittal. Ms. Augie, formerly known as Anna Graham, who is
originally from Anambra State and fourth wife of late Senator Adamu Augie of
Kebbi State, took the case and assembled some lawyers to help with drafting the
judgement.
It is also alleged that she got help from some members of
the Nigerian human rights community in drafting the judgement, which blamed the
prosecutors in Mr. Mustapha's case for doing a “shoddy” job. Among other
ridiculous arguments, Ms. Augie’s claimed in the judgement that the prosecution
couldn't provide the bullet that killed Mrs. Kudirat Abiola in 1996.
Strangely however, Ms. Augie's concurring judgement was
already made available to subscribers of an exclusive Nigerian lawyer's
listserve, "Rule of Law" Nigeria. The judgement was provided to the
listserv by the chairperson of the Nigerian Human Rights Commission, Chidi
Odinkalu, who had initially derided a Saharareporters’ investigative report,
which revealed that a deal was in the works to set Al Mustapha free of the
murder charges two weeks before the judgement was hatched.
With reference to bringing Ibori home, it is unclear how
Jonathan will go about it. The National Assembly has approved a prisoner swap
law with the United Kingdom but it is yet to be seen how Ibori might benefit
from that. Between his all-but-buried war against corruption and his deep
desire to retain the presidency, there may be no limit to what policies he may
come up with.
President Jonathan and his wife, Patience have made several
nocturnal visits to the pastor since becoming president. Al Mustapha also
visited the Pastor soon after he was released from prison before heading to
Kano to meet with family and friends.
