Ihedioha Tells Mbaka To Face His Spiritual Calling
By Chuks Ekpeneru
Emeka Ihedioha has called on Ejike Mbaka to face his spiritual calling and leave politics for politicians to slug it out.
The Imo state governor spoke in reaction to Fr. Mbaka’s prophetic declaration of a change in the governorship of Imo State that will see fourth place finisher in the governorship contest mount the governorship seat in Owerri.
Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Revd. Fr. Ejike had in the past been at the centre of controversies concerning his political inclinations.
Ihedioha speaking through the state commissioner for Information, Felix Ebiliekwe, said that he was unperturbed about the new year prophecy.
Ebilikwe said that apart from Uzodinma coming a distant fourth at the polls, his petitions at the Elections Petitions Tribunal and his appeal at the Court of Appeal against the declaration of Ihedioha as the governor of the state by the Independent National Electoral Commission were “summarily dismissed.”
He expressed optimism that the apex court would equally dismiss Uzodinma’s appeal before it, hence there was no room for fresh evidence and prayers in the appeal.
According to the Commissioner, “The governor is not disturbed. The government and people of Imo State are not disturbed. Imo has been liberated and the governor is busy at a very fast pace rebuilding the state.
“Senator Hope Uzodinma’s petition at the court of the first instance, Elections Petitions Tribunal was dismissed. His appeal at the Court of Appeal was thrown out for want of merit. The supreme court will equally do the same because there will not be any fresh evidence to be filed.
“I will suggest to Revd. Fr Mbaka to face his spiritual calling and leave politics alone. Imo is in save hands. The things the governor has been able to do in seven months have shown and is very clear to the blind that Imo is being rebuilt. The governor is not disturbed by the priest’s prophecy.”
