Nigerians React To Mbaka’s Endorsement Of Buhari For 2019
A storm of mixed reactions by Nigerians has greeted the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term bid by Ejike Mbaka, the spiritual director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN).
Concise News recalls that the controversial Catholic priest had urged Nigerians to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption in his New Year message.
“A President that is fighting corruption,” Mbaka said in his New Year prophecy, “needs to be supported.”
In the message, the popular cleric also urged Nigerians to brace up for “impending unimaginable difficulty” in the country in 2019.
This difficulty, Mbaka said, would be such that has not been witnessed in Nigeria’s 58-year history.
In a swift reaction to the clergyman’s New Year message, Nigerians took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter, to air their opinions.
Concise News captured some of the reactions below…
One year after and he is out with an endorsement.
Is our God now a liar?
Why is Father Ejike Mbaka speaking from both sides of his mouth?
Even his "Chidera" songs speaks to God not going back on his word.

Only God can cure Father Mbaka's illness as it stands.
How can he endorse Buhari for 2019 and prophesized that Nigerians should prepare for unimaginable suffering in 2019?
I'm totally lost. God have mercy!

In a sane environment someone like father mbaka shouldnt be talking…Its becoming a norm that he only talk when election is near…During the time when things are not going on well,did he come out to say anything.Guess he has been bribed again to publicise for them..Rubbish😏😏

It only hurts Fani Kayode that Mbaka has never supported his preferred presidential candidate for the number one position. Trust me, FFK would have been singing a different song today if it was the other way round. I'm sure he knows his party has already failed. #FEBUHARI2019

What baffles me is why the Catholic Church has not punished Mbaka. There are several ways the church can punish him and put him out of limelight

I am of the opinion that FKK shouldn't have use such uncomplimentary words to address Fr. Mbaka . Judgement is of the Lord and only Him knows those who are real and fake prophets. https://t.co/NxtgwC0u5G

"If God does not want Buhari he could have died"- Father Mbaka.
Short man devil has spoken! I am convinced beyond all reasonable doubt that this creature from the 7th circle of hell is an agent of satan. He is worse than Rasputin: he thrives on falsehood and reeks of sulphur!

Fr Mbaka endorses Buhari and predicts hardtimes for Nigeria. Mbaka makes Nigerians question the real motives behind his actions and utterances. But let this be known to Mbaka, he’s no more relevant. Nigerians are now wiser. His words and endorsements amounts to little effect!

It’s high time all Biafrans especially Igbo Biafrans realize that the so called father Mbaka isn’t speaking the voice of Elohim, I’ve heard Mbaka used this phrase “children of the AIR” on several occasions, as a true Christian sincerely ask yourself, What’s children of the AIR 🤷🏾♂️

We are not like your almajiri filled north. We have always known him as a conman who uses politicians. We do not vote based on Mbaka. He's a fucking scammer. https://t.co/LbUYWgf8vo

When mbaka was attacking Nnamani, everyone was supporting him. They even bought his AquaRapha water as alternative to drugs. Now he's supporting ur enemy and he's now automatically evil. Funny Nigerians

Sad news: Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka has endorsed @MBuhari for 2nd term. D fiery Priest told Senator Ayogu Eze of APC to forget his governorship ambition. Mbaka said checked Enugu -Onitsha construction, 2nd Niger Bridge, farmers smiling to banks. I know Ugwuanyi is for PMB too

I respect the catholic church and their priests a lot but Fr Mbaka should hv stayed off politics.
A revered man Esp in the eastern part of Nigeria shouldn't Tarnish his name by promoting buhari who has put us as a country into this mess called reality.

Meanwhile, Mbaka’s endorsement of President Buhari came after he had on December 4, 2018, said the President will go nowhere if he remains ungrateful to his (Mbaka) ministry.
In a viral video on social media, the controversial Catholic Priest accused President Buhari of abandoning the ministry despite the support and the prophecy about his victory in 2015.
“We were chased away because of Buhari… No one person has been employed by Buhari after Fr. Mbaka almost died for his sake,” he had said in December 2018.
