President of the Nigerian Women in Clergy, Prophetess Nonnie Roberson has called for the cancellation of the 2015 elections, a call she said was in the best interest of the country. She however said if the elections eventually hold, President Goodluck Jonathan will win, but many lives will be lost.

“I know the president is going to win the presidential election because I prayed and a lot others have prayed too. The sceptre has not been taken away from him, but it is going to be very close and intense,” the prophetess told Vanguard in an interview.

“My fear is that there will be a lot of bloodshed,” she said.

Prophetess Nonnie said she wished the government would yield to calls in favour of the cancellation of the 2015 elections, coming from some quarters, as going ahead with the election may be disastrous.

“I wish they can heed that call and cancel the elections because more people will die if we go ahead to conduct the election as scheduled. Even in the course of the electioneering campaigns, people will die,” she predicted.

She however said her group, Women in Clergy, has been praying and fasting, but noted that faith without work is dead. So, “we are getting involved. We are working with a lot of female aspirants, trying to encourage and push them. The next thing is to embark on a mass sensitisation project to tell Nigerians what is expected of them. Votes will count this time around; so we will encourage people to vote based on their individual conviction. We will tell them to collect their money and rice if they bring them, but vote your conscience.

“We have also been able to set up our zonal bodies with strong women of God taking charge of the zones. They are organising and talking and very soon, the state and local government chapters will be up and running. We will not fold our arms and watch things go the same way it has always gone. It is no longer business as usual,” Roberson said.
