Ejike Mbaka, spiritual director of adoration ministry, has endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term bid. Mbaka gave his endorsement in a New Year message to Nigerians. The Catholic priest said Nigeria has not had president who has undertaken agricultural programmes like Buhari. He said Buhari has addressed the herdsmen clashes between herdsmen and farmers and banditry.
“A president that is fighting corruption need to be supported. We pray for President Muhammadu Buhari; he is a man who understands the situation. Since Nigeria started, we have never experienced a president that has agricultural programmes like him. For 16 years, the road from Anambra to Enugu was over-grown with weeds but within four years the road is being reconstructed and the same way they are doing it to Umuahia. This one that remembered us may God bless him.
“Four years doesn’t mean eight years; he has finished his four years, I pray for peaceful transition that he may complete his remaining four years. He will hand over to a better person, may the Lord keep him. When he was sick, he was almost dead and we said prayer and God granted him healing. God knows the purpose for allowing him to be alive; if God doesn’t want him, he could have died. The roads that were not going has started going. A lot of things are happening now which nobody knows. May the lord protect Buhari; it shall be well with our president.”
Mbaka’s endorsement is coming after he said Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi, his running mate, might end in shame. The priest said this in December after Obi failed to give a donation to his ministry. Ejike Mbaka had chosen Buhari over ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
