Father Mbaka Clarifies His Comments On Jonathan

Following his widely publicised sermon on New Year’s Eve that tore President Goodluck Jonathan’s policies to pieces, Rev Father Ejike Mbaka has been recorded hitting the president hard again, and this time his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, was not spared.

Speaking in both the English and Igbo languages, Mbaka dismissed suggestions that he is a two-faced individual because he received the first lady in his ministry a few weeks before his controversial outburst.

Recall that in November 2014, Mbaka welcomed the First Lady, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and others to his Enugu parish. He told ‘Mama Peace’, as the Firstly Lady is popularly called, that her husband had “done well” and deserved another tenure at the Aso Rock.

Mbaka, reacting to the criticisms, quoted a verse in the bible and gave a biblical instance where God supported one of his prophets and later withdrew the support because of the deeds of the prophet.

He further revealed that when he met both President Jonathan and his wife, they refused his request to give him their phone numbers so he could reach them whenever he has a revelation about them or the country.

He also denied rumours that he was bribed by opposition politicians to say all he did at the New Year’s Eve service, saying, “I don’t know Buhari, I have never met him”.
