Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has blasted popular Catholic cleric, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka over the latter’s support for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Fani-Kayode, who took to his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, flayed Mbaka after the cleric said: “If God does not want Buhari he could have died”.
Mbaka had made the statement during the Crossover Service at his Adoration Ministry headquarters in Emene, Enugu State on December 31.
The cleric also urged Nigerians to support Buhari’s bid to rid the nation of corruption.
Mbaka said, “A President that is fighting corruption needs to be supported.
“We pray for President Muhammadu Buhari; he is a man who understands the situation. Since Nigeria started, we have never experienced a President that has agricultural programmes like him.
“For 16 years, the road from Anambra to Enugu was overgrown with weeds but within four years, the road is being reconstructed and the same way they are doing it to Umuahia. This one that remembered us, may God bless him.
“Four years doesn’t mean eight years; he has finished his four years. I pray for peaceful transition that he may complete his remaining four years. He will hand over to a better person, may the Lord keep him. When he was sick, he was almost dead and we said prayer and God granted him healing. God knows the purpose for allowing him to be alive; if God doesn’t want him, he could have died.
“The roads that were not going has started going. A lot of things are happening now which nobody knows. May the lord protect Buhari; it shall be well with our President.”
But Fani-Kayode berated the cleric over his support for the president, saying Mbaka feeds on “falsehood”.
The ex-minister said, “Short man devil has spoken! I am convinced beyond all reasonable doubt that this creature from the 7th circle of hell is an agent of satan. He is worse than Rasputin: he thrives on falsehood and reeks of sulphur!”
