He has variously shared of howIn his communique sent out to the public domain today, 12 June 2022, Ajadi said Nigerians should be prayerful and steadfast with how democracy is run now, adding that positive change is around the corner.

The Eagle reports that the crisis of the annulment of the election of that year, widely believed to have won by late Moshod Abiola, had seen many families running to safety.

In the case of Ajadi, his mother desperate to save their lives was leaving the city in search of a place of safe abode, the discomfort of which forced the young Ajadi to voice out.

In a commemoration message signed by his consultant, Media and Strategy, Mr Cami Ezenwa, Ajadi recalled as follows:

“I remembered vividly the year 1993 during one of the late M.K.O Abiola’s anniversary on June 12. That was when God showed me a visio

“Due to the crisis of that agitation, families were sometimes, forced to move as the crisis reached their dwelling place.

“So, it happened that year, and my mother eager to take us to safety. She was dragging me along the road, as we fled from Odinjo, trekking down to our village Osengere area, Egbeda Local Government Ibadan, Oyo State.

“When I could no longer bear the pressure, and pain of the long and tedious dragging, I was forced to hesitate. I asked my mother why we were running and where we were going to?

“She responded that there was war in the town and that daily feeding had become difficult. She said if we wanted to survive, we had no option than seek refuge in a peaceful town.

“It was a most tedious flight, and I had to cry to God, asking Him why He had put me in such a country with so much suffering. The Lord said to me in a still small voice “you are here for a purpose”. I told Him, if that is the case, I want you to give me the power to rescue the Nation from this dread that loomed ahead.

“I asked Him to make me known and counted amongst those that would change the country for better. It was a holy week, and I added that If He answered my prayer, that I would not break the holy vow.

“I did not really reckon with what had happened until 1997 when my mother and I attended a programme at Christ Apostolic Church, Oke Agabara, Ashi Bodija Shepherded by Baba Olowoore. There, another revelation came forth to me about becoming a leader in a Nation.

“In fact, two men of God, by names Evangelist Kehinde Moses and Evangelist Seun were the ministers of God at the Church in the year mentioned.

” I still didn’t take the revelation seriously, but for my mother, having heard the revelation from me refrained from taking me back home; instead she went home to bring all my clothes to the Church and for two years, I lived there.

” It was in year 2018 when President Mohammed Buhari and former Vice President Atiku failed to attend the Presidential debate, that it dawned on me that the time to manifest had dawned. I personally found it distasteful that people who were elected into offices by people could ignore the desire of the same people to hear them speak about what they had for them.

“All the prophetic declarations had begun to piece themselves together. I saw myself cry bitterly yearning for a saviour for our dear country Nigeria.

“Then, I came up with just one propaganda: “ I move a motion for all Nigerian politicians to sign an undertaking to be held accountable for electoral promises made to the masses”, which today has become a personal mantra in my quest to be president,” he said.

He reiterated that the positive change would only come with Nigerians voting out the incompetent government in 2023

“This government has tested our endurance and we need to vote wisely in 2023 for these political irregularities to stop,” he said.
