A priest in the Catholic Diocese of Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, are planning to kill him over his recent criticism of the government and his opposition to the President’s re-election bid.
“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 had been supporting Jonathan and his wife, did Buhari and his party make any statement to threaten him?”
The cleric maintained that his criticism of the Jonathan-led government was divine, as he made allusion to the biblical story of when God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go.
In the video uploaded on Youtude, Mbaka said “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.”
Mbaka said the threats against his life will not deter him from discharging his duties. He denied that he received money from the First Lady, Patience Jonathan, when she visited his church stating that 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.
