Adeboye spoke at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, during a two-day interdenominational prayer.
While asking Nigerians to stop worrying about who will emerge winner in the next election, Pastor Adeboye explained that God is a ‘master planner’, who already planned the leadership development of Nigeria.
“Stop disturbing yourself about who will be the President of Nigeria. God has already planned who will be the president of Nigeria. God has already planned that before we were born. God is not like human beings who doubts what is to be done. He has plans for everything,” he said.
According to the cleric, politicians, in most cases, hardly fulfil their promises.
On the character of politicians, Pastor Adeboye gave an anecdote of three travellers – an Indian, a Jew and a politician, narrating that while the three travellers were on the move, their vehicle broke down and they were stranded, prompting them to go to a farmer for help but the farmer said he could only accommodate two of them.
He continued that the Indian volunteered to sleep in the barn but returned a few minute later that there was a cow there. The Indian, according to the story, said he could not sleep there because cows were gods worshipped in his country.
Adeboye said the Jew also came back complaining that the pig inside where he was placed was dirty.
The pastor narrated further that the politician volunteered to go and sleep there.
Instead of the politician to come back complaining, Adeboye said it was the pig and cow that came knocking that the politician be sent away because he promised to make the environment, including the barn, conducive for himself by putting an air-conditioner there.
Vice-Chancellor of OAU, Professor Bamitale Omole, commended Adeboye for his yearly presence in the university, saying his divine interventions were having positive impacts on the school.
“We appreciate the love of Pastor Adeboye. With God and his presence last year, we had no calamities and also emerged as the best university in Nigeria. I urge students to be prayerful and cautious of what they do as God will continue to protect us,” he added.
The annual prayer and thanksgiving service was attended by thousands of students and staff members of the university.
