Ignore Father Mbaka’s prophecy – Peter Obi tells supporters
Peter Obi, the running mate of Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, has called on his supporters to ignore the prophecy of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Catholic Prayer Ministry, Enugu Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Mbaka had during the 2018 thanksgiving and bazaar celebration at his Adoration Ground, predicted that Atiku and Peter Obi will fail.
Peter Obi subsequently asked his supporters not to attack Father Mbaka over his prophecy that the Atiku election project would fail.
Obi said, “I have personally reached out to many people restraining them from attacking Fr. Ejike Mbaka because of their love for Peter Obi.
“If you truly respect Obi, please and please, do not attack Fr. Mbaka. In the first instance, His Excellency does not interpret the comments of Fr. Mbaka the way several observers do. While one may disagree with him, we should always acknowledge that he speaks and acts from the higher perspective of wisdom.
“His Excellency believes that every situation, however unpleasant, has positive lessons for us. Please let us leave Fr. Mbaka alone, our duty to him is prayers for God to lead him aright.”
Obi regretted that the spat at the adoration ground in Enugu cost his younger brother, who is also a Catholic priest, some engagements both in Onitsha and Lagos, the same day.
Father Obi, who joined his elder brother to Enugu for the service, was billed to return to Lagos but because of the delay as a result of arguments between Mbaka and Obi over donations, he missed his flight billed for 3pm from Asaba and had to join a 5:30pm flight from Enugu.
