Goodluck Jonathan speaks in Pretoria, South AfricaFormer President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed how the late Kenneth Kaunda predicted his election.Delivering a speech at the 2nd Kenneth Kaunda memorial public lecture in Pretoria, South Africa on Saturday, Jonathan said the deceased issued the prophecy in 2006 when he visited Bayelsa state.According to NAN, Jonathan said though he was the then governor of Bayelsa, he never had the dream of becoming Nigerian president.
“However, I must say it now that Kaunda in the early days of my political career, captured my political trajectory to the presidency in an accurate prophetic revelation that has continued to amaze me till this day.“In 2006 when Kaunda had ended his visit to us in Yenagoa and was returning to Zambia, I remember seeing him off to the Port Harcourt airport in neighbouring Rivers state.
