Leaders chosen by God will thrive, those by satan will fail – Obasanjo

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has remarked that leaders appointed by divine providence are destined to succeed, while those chosen by Satan are doomed to fail.

Speaking during a virtual interactive session titled Boiling Point Arena, Obasanjo emphasized that, like God, Satan also has the power to enthrone leaders, albeit without the assurance of salvation.

“Most leaders are prepared by God, and this divine preparation gives them the grace to achieve success. On the other hand, those enthroned by the devil are bound to falter,” he said during the session.

He noted, “And again people saying all leaders are made by God, I don’t accept that. A leader can also be made by Satan.

In the case of Job, you can remember Satan was going up and down and went before God and God was commending Job but Satan said Job was upright to God because he has gotten from God,” Obasanjo stated.

Addressing some of the ills of bad governance faced by Nigerian, the former president said leaders must be on the forefront of genuinely fighting corruption.

He said, “We must accept that Satan is real and he has power, he has no salvation but he has power and the power of Satan must not be underrated.”

Further describing corruption which has bedeviled the nation as hydra-headed obasanjo said that all hands just be on deck to push the country forward.

“It’s not a one day affair. It’s not a one regime affair. It’s not even a two regime affair. It has to be consistent. it has to be continual. It has to be a daily affair. Once one regime is let off, it spreads,” he added.
