An Enugu Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has said he does not regret his 2015 prophecy of change, declaring that the previous administration, which ran “a wasteful government”, should be held responsible for the present situation in the country.

Mbaka, who also dismissed as baseless claims that he fell apart with former President Goodluck Jonathan over alleged refusal to grant him an oil well, stressed that nothing had happened to make him regret the predictions that the past administration would be defeated in the last presidential election.

Speaking through his media aide, Mr. Maximus Ike Ugwuoke ahead of his 21 years priestly ordination anniversary, the priest restated that the current sufferings Nigerians are experiencing would have been worse if the administration had returned to power.

According to him: “When these prophecies come, it must not be what people think or want; people are entitled to their views; those reactions mean nothing; the important thing is that there is nothing he had prophesied which never came to pass.

I will tell you something, it is not for us human to judge prophecies; he was the only person who said Buhari would win; if it were in the olden days, all those so-called men of God who castigated him would have received the wrath of God immediately.’’ All of them should be ashamed of themselves now.”

“When you look at that prophesy on Jonathan, he gave it and it came to pass; don’t forget that two months before that prophecy, Jonathan’s wife came to the adoration ground; that is to tell you that the prophesy came from God. If after such visit, he had the courage to reveal such prophecy against them, that tells you that it is much more than what people think.

“Before Buhari took over, the dollar was rising, there was already problem with our economy.‎ They had oil boom bit never saved; just wasted the opportunity. Even the suffering we are talking about was part of his prophecies.”
