Catholic priest and Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministries , Enugu , Rev. Fr . Ejike Mbaka, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari that Nigerians will ‘change ’ him in 2019 if he does not change his style of leadership .
The priest advised Buhari against seeking a second term , and warned that the President risks being ‘blown away shamefully’ by the wind of change which he set off when he defeated former President Goodluck Jonathan
Mbaka, who was hitherto one of Buhari ’s most vocal supporters , spoke during a special New Year Eve service at the Adoration Ground , in Emene , Enugu.
The fiery priest ’s ‘romance ’ with Buhari started at a similar event , on the eve of January 1 , 2015 , when he condemned the incumbent President Jonathan, in a message entitled , ‘ From good luck to bad luck.’
Mbaka had , in the sermon , asked Nigerians to reject Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party during the 2015 presidential poll and predicted Buhari ’s victory.
Buhari eventually won the election and , months after his inauguration , received Mbaka in the presidential villa .
However, subsequent statements attributed to Mbaka suggests that his support for Buhari was waning, and in 2016, he warned the President that Nigerians would not vote for him in 2019 if he did not address the high level of hunger and suffering in the country .
Mbaka not only restated the warning but went further to declare that Buhari was ‘toying’ with the victory he won in 2015 , in a fiery sermon on Sunday night.
He declared that if Buhari did not ‘sit up,’ another person would take his office.
Expressing dissatisfaction with Buhari ’s leadership , the priest noted that 2017 was one of the most horrible years in Nigeria ’s history, and demanded that the President change his ‘change agenda ’, which he described as questionable.
Mbaka, who had in the past faulted the President for not appointing the right people and listening to the wrong advice , said the hardship in the country was foisted on Nigerians by a cabal that had ‘kidnapped ’ the President .
The cleric , who declared that Nigerians would soon be rescued from ‘captivity ,’ urged Buhari , who , according to him, “is in trouble, to immediately do away with the wrong people ” he surrounded himself with.
Noting that ‘ God forced him to speak out ,’ Mbaka said, “I had wanted to pray for you (Buhari ) and go because I don ’ t want anybody to attack me , I don’ t want the Bishop to invite me , I don ’ t want politicians to attack me anywhere . But God forced me , you must say http://punchng.com/mbaka-to-buhari-chang...u-in-2019/ .
