Some posts wey dey evriwhere for social media claim sey wife of di late TB Joshua promise Peter Obi, presidential candidate of di Labour Party (LP), eight million votes.

For one Youtube video wey News Express Nigeria TV post on July 17, dem tok sey Evelyn Joshua, wife of di late prophet, don stand gidigba wit Obi as election dey come for 2023.

Some oda Facebook pages folo cari di tori.

We notice sey na di same tin most of di Facebook pages wey share di post write.  Dem join di post wit picture of di late pastor, or im wife. Some pages even join di two pictures.

“I go give Peter Obi 8 million votes from my church. Normally, I no dey support any politician, but Peter Obi no be ordinary candidate. Na pesin wey go change Nigeria,” na so all di Facebook pages write.

Di post folo reach Twitter.

Wetin we check

TheCable try folo di Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) tok, to check weda Evelyn Joshua tok dat kain tin.

But dem no ansa any of our calls, later dia number no come dey go.

We come search dia ogbonge social media pages see sey, on July 15, dem release message for dia Facebook and Instagram.

Pipu bin claim sey Evelyn Joshua tok sey God tell her one candidate like dat go win di 2023 elections, na why dem release di message.

“We don notice sey plenti socia media posts claim sey pastor Evelyn Joshua tok sey God tell her one candidate like dat go win di 2023 Nigerian elections. Abeg, no be true, pastor Evelyn Joshua no tok anytin like dat. If you wan hear any true tori from SCOAN, na from Emmanuel TV or any of our confam social media pages,” na so di post tok.

As we check dia Facebook, we see sey dem bin post di same tin on June 20, but dem no tok anytin about di 8million votes for Obi.

TheCable come folo Julius Abure, national chairman of di Labour Party, tok.

Im tok sey, “plenti pipu dey support Obi for dia own way and we no get any wahala wit am.” Im sey “Change dey really hungry Nigerians.”

About di “8 million votes wey di church promise” as pipu claim, im sey “di synangogue church never folo Peter Obi or di parti tok in any way.”

Final tok

Di claim wey tok sey Evelyn Joshua promise di presidential candidate 8million votes no be true.
