Fiery Enugu Roman Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has
refuted claims that he named Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s successor ahead of the
governorship election in Enugu State.
There were reports that Mbaka named one of the governorship
aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Evarest Nnaji,
(Odengene), as the next governor of the State.
But in a statement made available on Thursday by Barr.
Ikechukwu Maximus Ugwuoke, the Media Aide to Mbaka’s Adoration Ministry, Enugu
Nigeria, he said the report was an absolute falsehood.
He disclaimed the reports being circulated on social media
as work of mischief makers.
The statement reads, “our attention has been drawn to the
report in a section of the media that Reverend Father Mbaka, the Spiritual
Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu has revealed a named Governorship aspirant
in Enugu as the Next Governor Of the state and has canvassed support for a
governorship candidate under a certain Political party.
“We make bold to refute the said report as it is false,
misleading and ill conceived .
“To put the records straight, Fr Mbaka during his last
Sunday mass in his characteristic passion for the good of the State and the
country, prayed God to guide the Governor of the State His Excellency Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi and give him the wisdom to choose a successor that will build
industries, create employment for the youths and care for the Enugu State
indigenes and those residing in the State.
“He enjoined the worshippers to pray that the next Governor
of the State shall be a man after God’s heart and not ‘a killer’, ‘a wicked
person’, nor someone with ‘I don’t care personality’.”
He further stated that “Never at any point during the said
prayer did Fr Mbaka mention any preferred candidate nor enjoined the Governor
to consider the candidature of any named Governorship hopeful.
“The satanic antics of the author of this report is to ridicule
the name of father Mbaka if their said named candidate fails to be the next
Governor of the state. We recall that this same antics was used by the same
mischief makers during the last Anambra State Gubernatorial election.
“For this reason the legal team of the ministry has been
detailed to trace the source of this mendacious report and make the authors and
the publishers scapegoats.
“As the 2023 general election approaches, we are warning
politicians and their supporters to stay clear of Fr Mbaka’s name and the name
of the Adoration Ministry in their political propaganda.
“Fr Mbaka does not speak carelessly or out of his own
volition on issues of such nature.
“He only speaks when the Holy Spirit propels him to speak.
And the same Holy Spirit has always vindicated him.”
