Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka Speaks on His Visit to Buhari


The Spiritual Director of the Adora­tion Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has said his recent visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock, Abuja was scriptural.
Recently he paid the president a visit at the Aso Rock Villa and according to Mbaka who spoke to Sunday Sun through his Personal Assistant and Me­dia Chief of the Adoration Ministry, Mr Maximus Ugwuoke, a lawyer, said the attacks on the spiritual director was un­called for as prophets of old like Mbaka had at one time or the other visited their leaders.
“We read those speculations in the media. Many questioned why Fr Mbaka had to visit President Buhari. Those disparaging remarks were actuated by jealousy and chronic envy among Christians nowa­days. Fr Mbaka had faced even more sa­tanic blackmail and devilish character as­sassination than this.”

“It didn’t start today as he had faced worse criticisms in the past. We tend to forget that the scriptures told us in Psalm 105:15 “Touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm”

“Is it a crime for a man of God to visit the President? Apart from being a priest and an anointed Prophet of God, is Fr Mbaka not a Nigerian? If yes, has he no right to enter our Aso Rock (the Presidential Villa).”

“For visiting Mr President has Fr Mbaka done what is unscriptural? In Exodus 5, did Mosses a prophet of God not visit Pharaoh in his seat of power in Egypt? Did Samuel not visit Saul in his seat of power in 1st Samuel 15? In 2nd Samuel 12, did Prophet Nathan not visit David in his seat of power? Did we not read about Elisha and Ahab in the scriptures, in 1st Kings 17?

"In Acts 10 did Peter the first pope of the Church not visit Cornelius in his house? Did we not read in the Bible that even Jesus himself left heaven and came to man on earth? Is it not the hall­mark of a real and humble anointed man of God to do what the biblical prophets did? We wonder why those whose in­sinuations of what transpired during the meeting between Fr Mbaka and Mr Pres­ident are poke nosing for. Did Fr Mbaka himself not answer their questions in the interview he granted the media dur­ing the visit when he stated that he had come to bless Nigerians and pray for their peace? This was aired on Channels, AIT and published in some newspapers. Those who say Fr Mbaka came to be settled by Mr President or that he came on Biafra agenda are on their own.

"Like I said, Fr Mbaka is not new to such accusations but one thing is clear, Fr Mbaka is not a Ghana-must- go-prophet. Even his accus­ers know this fact and that was why I said earlier that they make those speculations out of sheer envy and chronic jealousy."
