I’m Not Disturbed By Rev. Mbaka’s New Year Prophecy –Gov. Ihedioha

Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State has said he is unperturbed about the New Year prophecy of the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Revd. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.

The Catholic priest had prophesied that the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate at the March 9, 2019, governorship election in Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma, would become the governor of the state this year.

The cleric had said, “I don’t know the manner the revelation will manifest but no prophecy has ever been declared on this prayer ground without coming to pass.

“In spite of all that would happen this 2020, there is hope. In Imo State, there is hope.

“Hope, hope, Hope. Hope in Imo State. Imo people have suffered but God is raising a new hope that would be an agent of salvation for them.

“He is coming with a new flag to restore the dignity of that noble land. A new leadership that will break barriers and there would be joy in the land of Imo. Lift your candles as I bless Hope Uzodinma and I empower him to spiritually, take over. How? I do not know.”

But the Imo State Commissioner for Information, Felix Ebiliekwe, who spoke to our correspondent in Owerri, the state capital on Thursday, dismissed Mbaka’s prophecy.

The information commissioner said neither the governor nor his (governor’s) aides and appointees were disturbed by the cleric’s prophecy.

Ebilikwe said apart from the fact that Uzodinma, coming a distant fourth at the polls, his petitions at the Election Petitions Tribunal and his appeal at the Court of Appeal against the declaration of Ihedioha, as the governor of the state by the Independent National Electoral Commission, were “summarily dismissed.”

He expressed optimism that the Apex Court would equally dismiss Uzodinma’s appeal before it, hence there was no room for fresh evidences and prayers in the appeal.
