Father Mbaka curses Atiku-Obi ticket, says the pair will fail

Father Ejike Mbaka, the chief priest of the Adoration Ministry in
Enugu has declared that the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar
and his running mate, Peter Obi, will fail in their bid to unseat
incumbent Muhammadu Buhari in next year’s election.

Mbaka made the declaration on Sunday, in a video that has now gone
viral and also triggered some backlash for the controversial priest, who
also predicted the failure of former President Jonathan’s bid for
re-election in 2015.

Mbaka’s prediction this year that Gombe governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo
will be the next president of Nigeria, had already failed, as the man
did not clinch the PDP ticket.

Mbaka announced the curse on Atiku and Obi after Obi, notorious for
being stingy, refused to pledge anything to support Mbaka’s church.

The priest declared: “The way you and Atiku are moving will end in shame”.

But in another video, out of the church, Senator Hope Uzodinma,
pledged on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari to build a hospital to
serve the ministry.

The Obi-Mbaka video has triggered derisive reactions on Twitter, with some expressing disappointment with Mbaka.

But another commentator reminded Twitterati that Father Mbaka was
doing nothing unusual, as he was only following the footsteps of Winners
Chapel founder David Oyedepo, who constantly preaches hate against
Buhari, candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
