The Aare
Ona kakanfo of Yoruba land, Dr Gani Adams has disclosed how a Senior Pastor of
the Celestial Church of Christ predicted his emergence as the 15th Aare Ona
kakanfo and how he defeated 25 influential Yoruba people for the position.
.Adams, who
said this yesterday at a special thanksgiving service to mark his installation,
also said 25 people jostled for the exalted position. He also used the occasion,
which took place at the Genesis Parish of the Celestial Church, Alakuko to
reiterate his commitment to the development of Yoruba cultural values and
identity. Adams, who said he was the least wealthy of the contestants,
described his emergence as “an imposition on all of them by the Almighty God.”
Adams said: “Pastor Israel Ogundipe predicted my emergence as the Aare Ona
Kakanfo. That is one of the reasons I respect him as a man of God. “He was at
my former office at Palm groove and he made three predictions which all came to
pass in less than two weeks. “I saw humility and the holiness of God in him. He
is one of the few pastors that I respect. When we started jostling for the
post, I told him to pray along with me and promised him that I would do my
thanksgiving in his church if the Lord answered my prayers.” According him, “25
of us contested for the position and I was the least wealthy among them. The
Lord imposed me on all of them.” He also promised to always use his position as
the Aare Ona Kakanfo to promote religious harmony among the people of the
Yoruba race.
