Fresh facts emerged yesterday on why
the fiery Catholic priest and founder of
the highly regarded Enugu-based
Adoration Ministries, Rev Fr Ejike
Mbaka, last week warned the electorate
not to vote for the candidate of the
ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP),
President Goodluck Jonathan, in the
forthcoming February 14, 2015
presidential election.
Nigerian News Reporters gathered that the Catholic
priest was nudged by the leadership of
the Roman Catholic Church in Nigeria to
prophesy that the re-election of
President Jonathan would spell disaster
for the country.
A usually reliable source said that for
some time now, the Catholic community
has been nursing grudges against the
president following insinuations that he
has been parleying with the Anglican
Church, while neglecting the Roman
Catholic Church. President Jonathan is
said to be an Anglican.
It was gathered that the leadership of
the Catholic Church choose Fr Mbaka to
make the statement given the fearless
way he had spoken out against
oppressive regimes in the past, which
nearly cost him his life during the
administration of former Enugu State
Governor Chimaroke Nnamani, after
assassins shot him at close range.
However, it was also gathered that the
presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Gen
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), had sent a
powerful delegation to Enugu on
December 31, 2014, to woo Fr Mbaka to
support his presidential ambition.
A source close to the meeting said Fr
Mbaka’s speech came few hours
following the meeting with Buhari’s
delegation.
Nigerian News Reporters recalls that when recently
President Jonathan’s wife, Patience,
worshipped at the Adoration Ministries
ground located at Ijineke Emene in
Enugu East local government area, Fr
Mbaka urged Ndigbo to support the
second term bid of her husband Nigerian News Reporters further gathered that the
hierarchy of the Catholic Church was
rankled over Fr Mbaka’s advice to
Ndigbo to vote for the PDP presidential
candidate, hence he was allegedly
ordered by the leadership of the
Catholic community to warn the
electorate that voting for the incumbent
president would spell disaster for
Nigeria.
Delivering a message entitled, “From
Goodluck to Bad Luck” at the Adoration
Ministries ground on New Year’s Eve,
Mbaka said that when the first lady
Dame Patience Jonathan visited the
Adoration Ground recently, he had
conducted a spiritual exercise by lifting
four birds to fly, but the fourth and
most healthy of the birds refused to fly.
Mbaka revealed that he did everything
to make the fourth bird to fly but it
refused to fly, and God ministered to
him not to worry the bird any further.
The cleric expressed regret that in the
annals of Nigeria’s history, there has
not been a time the country recorded so
much bloodshed like the current
administration.
Mbaka recalled that the whole country
had looked forward for a leader who
would give jobs to the teeming
unemployed youths, provide mass
education, electricity and maximum
security and industrialize Nigeria in
anticipation that oil will one day melt
away.
“There emerged a Goodluck and
Goodluck met face to face with Yar’Adua
and Yar’Adua died. When Goodluck met
Yar’Adua, Yar’Adua had bad luck and
died. Goodluck met our oil; our oil had
bad luck and melted away. He met our
Naira, our Naira had bad luck.
“Where are we? What is the fate of this
country? Do we continue with bad luck?
Many civil servants did not go home
with December salary. What did they use
to celebrate Christmas?
“By December 5, the children will go
back to school. The parents are
expected to pay their school fees. Are
they going to use their urine to pay? Are
they going to use stool to pay school
fees,” queried the fiery Catholic priest
during his ministration on December 31,
2014.
Fr Mbaka called on all prophetic voices
in the country to speak up, saying that
even those who have been bought over
should speak up because of the destiny
of our children.
He said: “What is kidnapping?
Kidnapping is the grandson of
unemployment. Boko Haram is the
grandson of unemployment, mass
looting and corruption. As it stands
now, Jonathan should resign. The
Goodluck of Jonathan has become bad
luck to Nigeria.
“In few months to come, many people
are going to lose their jobs.
“During elections, Jonathan will answer
Azikiwe and Ebele to become an
Igboman. After election, the Azikiwe and
Ebele will vanish. Look at our federal
roads built by Buhari and Babangida.
The continuity of Jonathan means
disaster to Nigeria. We need change,”
Mbaka had said.
Expressing worry about the future of the
children, the cleric noted that they are
being admonished to go to school and
yet the government schools are not
functional.
He warned that Nigeria was like an egg
waiting to be broken in the hands of
President Jonathan, but said such
would not be allowed it to happen.
Mbaka lamented that pastors have
become vultures and hawks around
Jonathan, eating the porridge of Jacob
and selling their prophetic rights, adding
that some are turning Naira into dollars
and flying them out of the country in
private jets.
Noting that anointing is now
merchandise in Aso Rock, he said the
men of God telling Jonathan to
continue, should question their
prophetic anointing.
He continued: “When a man is eating
well and his children are hungry, is that
man still a father. When a mother is
dressing well and eating well and her
children are naked and hungry, will you
say she is still a mother?
“Any moment from now, they will start
telling us that this person is a Christian,
this person is a Muslim. I am not
campaigning for anybody. I am filled
with tears over what is happening in
Nigeria. The way Nigeria is going now,
Goodluck’s office, let another take,”
Mbaka said.
