The clergyman listed Governor Isiaka Ajimobi of Oyo, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun and Rochas Okorocha of Imo State as the three governors that will not achieve their ambitions.

Ajimobi broke the second term jinx in the state in 2015, becoming the first governor to be re-elected for a second term. He is set to return to the Nigerian Senate, where he was a member from 2003 to 2007, serving as the deputy minority leader at the expiration of the second term on May 29, 2019.

The 69-year-old Ibadan-born politician is the candidate of the APC for Oyo south, having displaced the initial occupant, Adesoji Akanbi, to clinch the ruling party’s ticket.

On the other hand, Okorocha contested for governor of Imo State in 1999 and lost, contested for the presidency and was a special adviser to former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Okorocha has also enjoyed unrestricted movement across parties, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), APC and also formed the Action Alliance (AA), under which his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu is contesting as a governor to be his successor.
