Imo: Father Mbaka didn’t apologise to me- Emeka Ihedioha

The past governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has described as false speculations that the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Revd. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, called him on the telephone and apologised to him.

The Catholic priest, had in his New Year message prophesied that Emeka Ihedioha would lose his governorship seat to Senator Hope Uzodinma, a prophecy that came to pass on January 14.

In a statement issued by Ihedioha’s spokesperson, Chibuike Onyeukwu, in Owerri, had claimed he never received any phone call from Mbaka.

The statement read,
“The report falsely attributed a statement to me, alleging that Fr. Mbaka, in the purported phone conversation, pleaded for forgiveness from my boss, over his utterances before and after the Supreme Court judgment of January 14, 2020 on the 2019 Imo State governorship election.

“I wish to make it clear that there was no such telephone conversation between Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and Fr. Ejike Mbaka, neither did I author any statement nor speak to anybody pertaining to such.

“Nigerians and the good people of Imo State are advised to disregard such unfounded propaganda, as it is a known handiwork of enemies who do not wish Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and the good people of Imo State well.

“We are not unaware of the desperate efforts to misrepresent His Excellency at this time but we believe that truth and justice shall prevail sooner than later.”
