The Olokine of Ojowo, Ijebu Igbo, Oba Abulrasheed Abayomi Banjo, has narrated how six kingmakers who opposed his ascension to the throne died one after another, insisting that God fought on his behalf during the struggle for his enthronement.
A video circulating on social media captured the monarch, who is also an Assistant Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, recounting his testimony and the resistance he faced after being declared qualified for the stool.
He explained that opposition began after it was discovered he was a pastor, leading some kingmakers to wage war against his emergence as Olokine
Oba Banjo said, “The wonderful thing about the war they waged was that the first head of the rebel died. They thought it was a child’s play, and appointed another, but he also died. The third followed, then the fourth, fifth and sixth. The seventh person had to take to his heels.”
The monarch explained that his opponents had boasted that after they finished dealing with him, not even the God of Pastor Enoch Adeboye would be able to rescue him.
