Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has denied prophesying that the new governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, would only govern for two months.
Mbaka denied the allegation in a statement on Sunday by spokesman of the ministry, Ike Ugwuoke.
Mr Diri was sworn in on Friday 24 hours after the Supreme Court nullified the election of David Lyon, and his running mate, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, over the latter’s forged certificate.
Mbaka was in a report alleged to have made the prediction in “Delta State at the ceremony to mark his friend and colleague who clocked 68 years.”
“For the sake of justice and fairness, we challenge the originators of this false and mendacious report to mention the name of the so-called Fr Mbaka’s friend and colleague whose ceremony he attended in Delta State. The truth is that Fr Mbaka has not even been in Delta since this year,” the statement said.
“Fr Mbaka has never at any time, place or circumstance made any prophecy about Bayelsa or who becomes the Governor of the state or his duration in office. The report is obviously the handwork of mischief makers and wicked idiots who are on demonic and satanic assignment to damage Fr Mbaka’s reputation and brand him a false prophet.
“Fr Mbaka has been preoccupied with the charitable and miraculous works God has been using him to do in the ministry. He has been immersed in thanksgiving to God for the fulfilment of his prophecy on Hope Uzodimma becoming the Governor of Imo State and so he never attended any such ceremony in Delta State or anywhere else where he could have made such prediction as alleged by these satanic agents. During Fr Mbaka’s Sunday mass, he refuted this report himself publicly at the altar.”
The statement also read that “those who impersonate Fr Mbaka on the media should be careful else they are attracting the wrath of God upon themselves.”
