FEW days after the wife of the President, Mrs Aisha
Buhari visited the Catholic Adoration Ministry Enugu, its Spiritual
Director, Rev Fr Camillus Ejike Mbaka, has cried out that enemies of
peace and unity of the country are trying to cause rift between him and
Buhari.His note of alarm exclusively obtained by Expdonaloaded blog followed
widespread rumour in some segments of the media, particularly, the
social media that he had predicted and called for the break-up of the
country in his message.
The fiery Catholic priest, who spoke through his Special Assistant
and Media Chief, Mr. Ike Maximus Ugwuoke, said he was vilified,
persecuted and attacked over his victory prophesy on Buhari, whom he had
consistently prayed for as a God-sent to save the nation.
Explaining what happened, his media chief said: “This explains the
only reason such a doctored portion of the message of the man of God
five years ago, during President Jonathan’s administration should make
the news and be a focal point at this point of the nation’s history.
“We state that Fr Mbaka as at date has not made any authoritative or
decisive statement on the division of the country and those who are
spearheading this propaganda have no business maneuvering his prophetic
message to aid their agenda.
“The source of this information has been traced to one of his
prophetic messages entitled ‘Prophetic Breakthrough,’ which he
delivered many years ago (precisely in 2010) during the past
administration when he was appraising the then leadership failures of
the Jonathan administration and the attendant moral and infrastructure
decadence, poverty, political impunity, insecurity in the North and the
marginalisation of the people of Niger-Delta.
“It is very unfortunate that some unscrupulous people had to cut out
what he said in two minutes out of the over 90 minutes video message he
preached many years ago and began to spread it like wildfire in
you-tube and other social media, quoting it as the position of the
cleric on Biafra and his support for the division of Nigeria as though
it was his recent message. It is regrettable that the cleric, in the
said video forewarned those that would misquote him as he is being
misquoted by some people for some obvious selfish ends.
“One begins to wonder why the architects of this propaganda failed to
tell the world that in that same message, Fr Mbaka prayed for Nigeria’s
breakthrough and that the ugly chain upon Nigeria be broken.
“We advised those behind this propaganda to steer clear from
distracting the man of God, who, at present is too busy with his
spiritual and charity engagements to his God-given multitude of
worshippers and his spiritual commitment for the good of the nation.”
