Fayose releases damning predictions for 2017 Nigeria

Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has predicted a tumultuous 2017 for Nigeria, emphasising that the year would see an uprising against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and its government due to economic hardship.

According to him in a statement on Friday, “2017 will be a defining year for Nigeria as there will be major revolution and uprising against the Federal Government because of economic hardship”.

He acknowledged the government’s effort at boosting agricultural sector but he said: “there will be no solution to power problem as power generation will drop to all time low.”

Fayose also said that there will be a further clampdown on judges perceived to be opposed to the Federal Government and that the acting Chief Judge of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen may not be confirmed as the substantive CJN.

Fayose warned against trifling with his ominous projections for 2017, especially since up to 90 per cent of what he predicted for 2016 came to pass.

“I predicted 20 things that will be experienced this year 2016. Almost 90 percent of what the Holy Spirit led me to predict came to pass,” he said.

According to the governor, $1 would exchange for N600 at some point next year. He also said the “APC-led Federal Government will still not have a solution to the economic problems of the country as the economy will move from recession to depression.

He claimed about four ministers will be sacked and that there will be more pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele.

Other predictions as offered by Fayose are:
