Enugu Catholic priest, Fr. Ejike Mbaka, is in the news again. The priest who made the pre-2015 election prediction that former President Goodluck Jonathan would lose to Muhammadu Buhari is making new once more, and it is still about President Buhari.
Mbaka, who earlier this year also predicted a grand plot by some disgruntled Nigerians to kill Buhari, is this time alerting of a plan by some people to cause disaffection between him and the Presidency.
The priest denies making any negative predictions about the President’s ill health, saying that he merely alluded to doctors’ alleged reports on the president’s ill-health.
President Buhari recently spent two weeks in the United Kingdom where he went to attend to his health. The presidency claimed that he had to travel to UK on his doctors’advice to get expert touch on a festering ear people.
According to Mbaka, Nigerian doctors had expressed fears over the chances of President Muhammadu Buhari recovering from his illness and he prayed against such evil reports.
A statement by Mbaka’s media offer, Ike Maximus Ugwuoke, reads, “Our attention has been drawn to a report in a section of the media, alleging that Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Nigeria, said President Muhammadu Buhari had slim chances of surviving from his ill-health.
“The truth is that there were media reports, making fuss about Mr President’s health and insinuating Mr President’s slim chances of recovering from his ill-health, published immediately the President went on vacation.
“Fr Mbaka, who was referring to the media report during his prayers for the sick in the ministry, prayed with the worshippers for Mr President’s healing and health after which there were lots of testimonies from the sick that were healed of blindness, elephantiasis, deafness, cancer, tumour and all other diverse healings at the end of the prayer session.”
“They say the sickness is E.N.T (Ear, Nose and Throat). When it affects the ear, it affects the nose and affects the neck. We pray for our President and anyone who is suffering from such a dangerous disease.
“We lift our healing hands for divine healing upon our President. Wherever he is, may he be healed in Jesus name!
“The doctors in Nigeria are nursing the fear that he may not survive, but we have a healing God. His name is Specialist in Impossibilities.”
“While we enjoin all patriotic citizens of this country to continue to pray for the good of the nation and her leaders, we reiterate our call on the meddlesome interlopers, who busy themselves with arm-twisting issues arising from the ministry for whatever ends, to desist from their wild goose chase, have a rethink and rather partake in the blessings imminent in spreading the good news of signs, wonders and miracles of God in the ministry.”
