Obasanjo Shares How Satan Enthrones Leaders: “He Must Not Be Underrated”

• Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has made a revelation regarding the appointment of leaders in Nigeria
• Obasanjo, during a recent interview, narrated how Satan makes appointments and disagreed about all leaders being ordained by God
• The elder statesman, who also voiced concern about the state of the nation, explained why Satan-enthroned leaders would not succeed

Legit.ng journalist Esther Odili has over two years of experience covering political parties and movements.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has disclosed that a leader made by Satan is bound to fail, while a leader chosen by God will succeed.

Obasanjo made this assertion on Sunday, December 8, during an interactive session on Zoom tagged “Boiling Point Arena,” hosted by a radio station in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

The former president argued that just like God, Satan has the power to enthrone a leader, but he lacks salvation.

Obasanjo insisted that only leaders ordained by God will succeed while disagreeing with the notion that every leader is ordained by God.

Channels TV reported that the elder statesman also spoke about the anti-corruption war in the country, his legacies in government, and current events in Nigeria.

Speaking further, Obasanjo clarified claims of being an accidental leader. He noted that leaders are both born and made by God.

“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.

“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,” Obasanjo said.

How Obasanjo almost became a drug addict

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Obasanjo shared insights from his time as chairman of the West African Drug Commission under the Kofi Annan Foundation.

He noted the disturbing shift in West Africa’s role from a drug transit hub to a significant consumer region.

Recalling his own near-encounter with smoking as a young man, Obasanjo emphasized how the early temptation to use psychoactive substances could have led to addiction had he not experienced severe coughing, which made him quit.
