| Father Mbaka endorses current Deputy President Ike Ekweremadu before the 2015 elections in Enugu |
Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka is in the news again. This time, his words are being used to boost the renewed agitation for Biafra The Trent Newspaper reports
In a video during a night prayer
session, Mbaka is seen kneeling and making lamentations and
declarations. At some point, he declares for a division of Nigeria
re-echoing long-standing ethnic sentiments in the country.
“In some countries, Nigerians are
treated like monkeys. One of the biggest oil producing countries in the
whole universe. That chain that is holding Nigeria will break this
night, in Jesus’ name,” he prays in the video which was uploaded on
YouTube on October 30, 2015.
“I repeat it. So that when they begin to
misquote me, catch me right. Those that are coming to arrest, get ready
to be arrested too by the heavenly powers.
“If we are to divide, some Igbo people would want to be Hausa. Of course you know that. So let everybody go to where he wants to go to.
“There are some Igbo people who have no hut in their father’s house here. But they have 10 storey buildings in Abuja, in Lagos.
“Have you ever seen any story building built by a Hausa man in Igboland?” Mbaka asked as the crowd chants “No”.
“One Nigeria. Not even a hut. What is happening?
“Let us tell ourselves the truth,” he declares as the undated video cuts.
Mbaka is a controversial Roman Catholic
priest who is also the founder of Adoration Ministries based in Enugu.
He is known for making predictions on the outcome of elections in
Nigeria.
His is also remembered for endorsing
General Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 elections calling for “change”,
just weeks after endorsing then, President Jonathan.
Mbaka’s about-face earned him scorn from Goodluck Jonathan supporters and high praise from Buhari
