The Spiritual Director of the Adoration
Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, on Thursday said some mischief
makers were trying to cause disaffection between him and President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Mbaka was reacting to media reports,
which quoted him as saying that Buhari’s chances of surviving an ear
infection, over which he undertook a foreign medical trip, was slim.
The reports said Mbaka made the
statement during one of his adoration programmes, shortly after the
President left for the United Kingdom on a medical trip.
It was reported that during the programme Mbaka revealed a vision concerning Buhari.
However, reacting to media reports on
the said vision, Mbaka, in a statement signed by his media adviser, Ike
Ugwuoke, said he did not make any negative prophecy on Buhari’s health,
as was suggested in several quarters.
According to him, he merely responded to claims by some Nigerian doctors concerning the President’s ailment.
The statement partly read, “Our
attention has been drawn to a report in a section of the media alleging
that Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry,
Enugu, Nigeria, said that President of the Federal Republic Muhammadu
Buhari, had slim chances of surviving from his ill health.
“The truth is that there were media
reports, making fuss about Mr. President’s health and insinuating Mr.
President’s slim chances of recovering from his ill health, published
immediately the President went on vacation.
“Fr. Mbaka referring to the said media
report during his prayers for the sick in the Ministry, led his
congregation to pray for Mr. President’s healing and health, after which
there were lots of testimonies from the sick that were healed of
blindness, elephantiasis, deafness, cancer, tumor and all other diverse
healings at the end of the prayer session.”
Mbaka stressed that some persons, who he
described as “meddlesome interlopers,” were bent on causing unnecessary
rift between the Ministry and the Presidency.
“While we enjoin all patriotic
citizens of this country to continue to pray for the good of the nation
and her leaders, we restate our call on the meddlesome interlopers who
busy themselves with arm-twisting issues arising from the Ministry for
whatever ends to desist from their wild goose chase, have a rethink and
rather partake in the blessings imminent in spreading the good news of
signs, wonders and miracles of God in the Ministry”, the statement said.
