Residents of
Owerri, the Imo state capital, swarmed around Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka’s car, as he
arrived for Senator Hope Uzodinma’s swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday.
Mbaka was
one of the guests at the event held at the Imo State Government House.
The crowd
continued to hail Mbaka over his ‘prophecy’ which had come to pass.
The
controversial cleric predicted that Uzodinma, the governorship candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), will take over from Emeka Ihedioha as Imo
Governor in 2020.
His prophecy
came to pass on Tuesday, as the Supreme Court sacked Ihedioha and declared
Uzodinma as the Governor of Imo State.
Other guests
included the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, former Governor of
the State, Senator Rochas Okorocha and governorship candidate of APGA in the
2019 governorship election, Ifeanyi Ararume.
Several APC
chieftains, including APC National Vice Chairman, Emma Eneukwu, APC National
Organising Secretary, Emma Ibediro, the Speaker of the Imo House of Assembly
Chiji, as well as Ahmed Gulak and Andy Uba, were also in attendance.
Uzodinma and
his deputy, Professor Placid Njoku, were sworn in by the Chief Justice of the
state, Justice Pascal Nnadi.
