The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, on Thursday said some mischief makers were trying to cause disaffection between him and President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mbaka was reacting to media reports, which quoted him as saying that Buhari’s chances of surviving an ear infection, over which he undertook a foreign medical trip, was slim.
The reports said Mbaka made the statement during one of his adoration programmes, shortly after the President left for the United Kingdom on a medical trip.
It was reported that during the programme Mbaka revealed a vision concerning Buhari.
However, reacting to media reports on the said vision, Mbaka, in a statement signed by his media adviser, Ike Ugwuoke, said he did not make any negative prophecy on Buhari’s health, as was suggested in several quarters.
According to him, he merely responded to claims by some Nigerian doctors concerning the President’s ailment.
The statement partly read, “Our attention has been drawn to a report in a section of the media alleging that Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria, said that President of the Federal Republic Muhammadu Buhari, had slim chances of surviving from his ill health.
“The truth is that there were media reports, making fuss about Mr. President’s health and insinuating Mr. President’s slim chances of recovering from his ill health, published immediately the President went on vacation.
“Fr. Mbaka referring to the said media report during his prayers for the sick in the Ministry, led his congregation to pray for Mr. President’s healing and health, after which there were lots of testimonies from the sick that were healed of blindness, elephantiasis, deafness, cancer, tumor and all other diverse healings at the end of the prayer session.”
Mbaka stressed that some persons, who he described as “meddlesome interlopers,” were bent on causing unnecessary rift between the Ministry and the Presidency.
“While we enjoin all patriotic citizens of this country to continue to pray for the good of the nation and her leaders, we restate our call on the meddlesome interlopers who busy themselves with arm-twisting issues arising from the Ministry for whatever ends to desist from their wild goose chase, have a rethink and rather partake in the blessings imminent in spreading the good news of signs, wonders and miracles of God in the Ministry”, the statement said.
