Mbaka raises alarm over plans to assassinate Buhari

The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministries, Enugu, Father Ejike Mbaka, has raised the alarm over plans to assassinate President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Mbaka, those who are planning to kill the President were doing it because of his uncompromising stand on corruption.

The Catholic priest, in a video message, also cautioned his followers against speaking evil of the President.

“So I want to tell you that so far, God is happy with Buhari. And him whom God has blessed, may you not try to accuse, because God will curse you,” said the priest.

According to him, “Many people are planning, as it is revealed, to kill him. There are many plans on how to eliminate his life so that corruption will continue, so that quantum embezzlement will continue.

“But the Lord says ‘God who put you there will not forsake you. Be firm, be resolute, remain focused, and be unbiased. Refuse to be intimidated and refuse to be distracted. Go ahead and war against evil. President Buhari, go ahead and war against corruption. President Buhari, God and his people are behind you, you are the answer of the prayers of the people, amen.’”

Speaking further on the hardship in the country, Mbaka said the current situation was as a result of the the recklessness of past leaders.

“It doesn’t matter the man of God they worship with, I tell you before God and man, all of them are wicked. They hate this country,” he said.

“They succeeded in removing the liver, kidneys, and cardiovascular systems of this country, and paralyzed the neurological organs and handed over to Buhari, the new president, shambles, skeleton almost, a nation that is comatic.

“Nigeria right now, economically, security wise, is in the intensive care unit. If the oxygen is removed, Nigeria will go.

“The entire money voted for hospitals were looted out.

“Corruption was in quantum. To the level that the Nigerian bishops had to compose a prayer – Prayer against Bribery and Corruption, and assured all the Catholics to be praying that prayer every day after the Communion.

“All the money voted for road constructions were swindled, eaten. Many of them became millionaires and billionaires in Naira, in Dollars, in Pounds, in Euro. Billionaires, when they have no workshop, no business centre. Somebody who has nothing he’s doing, yet he’s a billionaire, because he’s a politician.”

The cleric was in the news recently when he stated that Nigerians will not vote for APC, come 2019, because of the hardships they had been subjected to.

But he recanted soon after, postulating that the sufferings of Nigerians was not caused by the Buhari-led administration, but his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan and and his PDP.
