Jonathan, wife planning to kill me –Father Mbaka

Enugu-based Catholic priest, Rev. Fr.
Ejike Mbaka, has alleged that
President Goodluck Jonathan and
his wife, Patience, were planning to
kill him over his criticism of the
Federal Government and his
opposition to the President’s re-
election.
Mbaka, in a new video currently
trending on YouTube, made the
allegation during a sermon he
delivered in his church.
The congregation erupted in a
howl when Mbaka said, “President
Jonathan and his wife are planning
to kill me.”
The Roman Catholic Priest, whose
recent comments on the general
elections generated ripples, said
the plan to assassinate him showed
that the President no longer had
the fear of God.
He said, “Although I sent a letter
about this somewhere but I want to
say this to the atmosphere. Let me
say to the whole world that
President Jonathan and his wife,
Patience, are planning to
assassinate Father Mbaka. It is a
known secret, so whoever they
want to use, I don’t know. They may
not come themselves. They may
use these unemployed people. The
same people I am speaking for. I
don’t know why people no longer
have the fear of God.
“Do they think that killing Father
Mbaka will make Jonathan and his
wife win the election? Is Mbaka
their problem? And a priest asked a
question that touched me. He said
all this while that Father Mbaka has
been supporting Jonathan and his
wife, did Buhari and his party make
any statement to threatened him?”
Mbaka maintained that his criticism
of the Jonathan administration was
a divine mandate, while making
allusion to the bible story of when
God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to
let the Israelites go.
He compared his New Year
message against President
Jonathan to Moses’ message to the
Egyptian King, Pharaoh.
He said in the video, “I am just
trying to tell any Pharaoh that is
threatening to kill any Moses to
remember what happened in
Exodus chapter 12. After the
Passover, the family of Pharaoh
cried. They ended in the middle of
the Red Sea.”
The Catholic priest said despite the
threats, he would continue to
discharge his duties without fear of
anyone.
Mbaka also denied that Patience
Jonathan gave him any money
when she visited his church.
He said although President
Jonathan dropped money for him
through Deputy Senate President,
Ike Ekweremadu, he left the money
with Ekweremadu and his wife. He
also said that Patience Jonathan’s
offering to the church was also
rejected.
Mbaka launched a scathing criticism
of President Jonathan last year
when he gave a sermon
condemning his re-election.
