The spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev Dr Ejike Mbaka, has cried out, saying that Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, no long picks his calls.
The Enugu-based Mbaka made the lamentation during last Friday’s edition of his popular Adoration programme.
He expressed surprise that since Uzodimma assumed power following his (Mbaka’s) famous prophecy, he has not answered his phone calls.
The cleric also told the people that the governor was also yet to return to the church to show appreciation.
“It’s not that I’m asking for money, it’s that I should advise him for good governance,” he said.
News Express reports that in his 2020 New Year message, the fiery Catholic priest had said that Senator Uzodimma, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate at the time, would be sworn-in as governor of Imo State.
“In spite of all that would happen this 2020, there is hope. In Imo State, there is hope. Hope, hope, hope … hope in Imo State!
“Imo people have suffered (but) God is raising a new hope that would be an agent of salvation for them,” he had said.
Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was the incumbent when Mbaka gave the prediction. Imo elders in the party dismissed the prophecy, pointing out that Uzodimma came fourth during the 2019 governorship election in the state.
However, the unexpected happened when, weeks after, the Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, declared Uzodimma governor and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue Uzodinma a Certificate of Return (CoR).
Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who read the judgement, stated that the candidate of the APC won on grounds that he polled majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.
Father Mbaka also predicted President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory against former President Goodluck Jonathan during his 2015 New Year message.
