The maverick Roman Catholic Priest and also the spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria, AMEN, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka has finally commented over the Presidential ambitions of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the incumbent President, Muhamadu Buhari ahead of their 2019 Presidential ambition.
Speaking recently to his Adoration faithful in Enugu, Trumpeta gathered from one of the online reports credited to the priest that Fr Mbaka described Buhari as a “change” also retorted that the PDP flagbearer, Atiku is “Bureau de change”.
According to him, the change mantra of the incumbent President is somehow under threat and questionable, pointing out that a man who promised to change the Nation for good has done little or nothing to better the lot of Nigerians.
He queried why it will take time to change the Chief of Staff, and other erring appointees with either Igbo men or Yoruba men for the everlasting wellbeing of Nigerians and for efficiency.
Commenting on the economic revival of the country, Fr Mbaka said, “why can’t Buhari take Chukwuma Soludo for the economic revival and revamping of Nigerian, economy? And you are busy talking about corruption, playing game with the lives of Nigerians from the issue of Fulani herdsmen to Boko Haram to Jos Killings. You said somebody stole, what did he steal?
In the same vein, Mbaka questioned on the genuity of the ten thousand naira (N10,000) social investment scheme promised by the Buhari’s government.
He therefore argued on what N10,000 could afford for someone in this present country where a President that promised “change” is still on seat with no meaningful plans for his people.
In a related development, he attributed Atiku as “Bureau de change”, who only emerged as the PDP 2019 candidate due to the alleged exchange of foreign currencies at the just concluded PDP National convention.
“Somebody will have billions and want to take the one belonging to the public while hunger will be killing his people. Look at the type of money they shared during the primaries to the extent that they brought Bureau de change.
They said Buhari is change, but Atiku is bureau de change. They were sharing the money in dollars and it was going out in millions of dollars in Nigeria where hunger is killing people. Where you don’t have food to eat” Fr Mbaka opined.
Continuing, the fiery cleric known for his prophetic utterances said, “If anybody is thinking that if Atiku becomes the President of Nigeria, things will get better; ‘who born you’ because for this country to be good, it is easier for a carmel to pass through the eye of a needle than this country to be good”.
Furthermore, he declared that for the level of disobedience the Nation’s leaders exhibit towards the word of God which comes through the anointed men of God, the price for such disobedience will be disgrace.
