Secret of Osinbajo’s copter crash escape: Pastor Wale Oke

Bishop Wale Oke: reveals Osinbajo’s helicopter crash secret

Bishop Wale Oke, the Presiding Bishop of Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Ibadan, said on Thursday that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would have been killed in the Kogi helicopter crash if not for his reliance on God.

He spoke in Ibadan at the ongoing 37th annual Holy Ghost Convention of Sword of the Spirit Ministries popularly known as Christ Life Church.

Osinbajo and some of his aides escaped death in a helicopter crash in Kabba, Kogi, in the build up to the last general elections.

Oke, speaking on the theme, “The Manifold Wisdom of God,” said the vice president would have been dead by now if he had not attended the Redemption Camp’s monthly vigil that preceded the crash.

The popular cleric said that inspite of the exalted position occupied by Osinbajo coupled with the tightness of his schedules as vice president, he never abandoned God under whatever guise.


“If Professor Yemi Osinbajo had given excuses by not attending the vigil that preceded his helicopter crash, he would have been dead by now.

“His wife would have become a widow by now and his children would have become fatherless,” he said.

Oke, while speaking on what transpired a day before the crash, said Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, had repeated his prayers five times for God’s protection over Osinbajo.

” Since he became the vice president, he had missed the vigil only once and it was because he went on an international assignment as delegated to him by the president.
