I am King David, not the Amalekite: Fani Kayode reacts to death prediction

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said he is like King David of the Bible, one of God’s greatest General that won all his battles and not an Amalekite who perhaps are considered uncircumcised.

Mr. Kayode stated this at the weekend, when reacting to a prediction credited to a clergy identified as Moshood Ifayemiwo, who said he foresaw his death just like the Amalekite, if he does not refrain from engaging in constant political wars.

The Clergy’s statement read in part: “I have never met Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode in my life, but have read some of his write-up in the papers; there are some of his views I do not share, but at times reason with some of his cogitation.

“I saw his immediate political future recently, but I am sad to report that his star may dim so soon, if he doesn’t pray and change course”.

Mr. Ifayemiwo claimed that God revealed to him that Fani Kayode would end up like the Amalekite who brought news to King David that one of God’s anointed, ‘King Saul’, was dead.

Responding, the former Aviation Minister said the clergy should be rest assured that he is not an Amalekite, but David and that President Buhari is not King Saul that was anointed by God but rather a Pharaoh and a Herod all rolled into one that was anointed by the devil.

He continued, “no-one will chop my head off or kill me before my time and neither am I a messenger; I am David.

“I am a King and I will chop off the heads of the Amalekites and all my enemies at the soonest; one by one they will fall until the spiritual circle is complete and the way is clear.

“I do not fight my battles: God fights them for me. I am David; behold they fall one by one already. Slowly but surely.

“The 6 Senators that bitterly opposed my Ministerial nomination on the Senate floor, that said I would be a Minister only over their dead bodies and that got up and insulted me during my Senate Ministerial clearance hearing in 2006, all died of strange diseases within a few years.

“Meanwhile all the Senators that got up, spoke for me and supported me that day are all alive and well till today. Two of them went on to be made Ministers a few years later and two of them were elected governor.

“Again the northern traditional ruler that wrote OBJ and said that I should be removed as a Minister in 2006 for being anti-Islam and anti-north was killed, together with his Senator son and his grandson, in a horrific plane crash a few weeks after writing his letter.

“Again all of the Senators that sat on the Senate Committee on Aviation that probed me in 2008 (led by Senator Anyim Ude) all paid a terrible price and none of them came back to the Senate at the next election except for one; and the one that came back was the only one on the Committee that showed me kindness and that was fair to me during the proceedings. Not only did he come back to the Senate but he was also later made a Minister.

“Again the President that told EFCC to maliciously charge me to court in 2008 for doing no wrong dropped dead in 2010; and the Head of the EFCC that executed the plan for him was removed from her job unceremoniously, and lost her 35 year old child and also lost her husband a few years later.

“Worst still, the officer that was sent to lead the team that arrested me in the Nigerian Senate was murdered three years later by men of the underworld.

“I was prosecuted for 7 years and on July 1st 2015, 7 years to the day when the whole ordeal started, I was discharged and acquitted of all charges by the courts; and one year later they came after me again on the orders of the new government and once again history repeated itself.

“Just like before the President that ordered that the EFCC should maliciously charge me to court in 2016 for doing no wrong is bed-ridden and brain dead in a foreign land today and will leave this world very soon if he has not done so already.

“Again the Head of the EFCC who executed the plan for him has been rejected by the Senate twice and has not been cleared or confirmed: much will still happen, wait and see, it is just a matter of time.

“These things do not happen by my power but by the power of God and anyone that seeks to destroy me, that seeks my hurt, that seeks to abort God’s plan for my life or that wishes me ill always has a terrible end or is stalked by misfortune and tragedy.

“I am David: I cannot be cut short and I cannot die before my time, I will carry out my assignment in this nation and on this planet successfully before I am called home whether my detractors like it or not.

“The bible says, ‘touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm’, but many in our nation still have much to learn from this; they would do well to learn it fast.

“Meanwhile I shall live long and prosper because the Lord is with me and like David at Ziklag, I shall pursue, overtake and recover all that my enemies have taken from me”, Mr. Kayode said.
