Rev. Ejike Mbaka, spiritual director of Adoration Ministries Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), had said during the Anambra gubernatorial race that Chukwuma Soludo, governor-elect of Anambra state, will lose if he contests the election.
In his words, Mbaka said:
“I called Soludo and said, ‘you are my very good friend; Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, I have been sent to tell you not to run for governor because you will fail. If you contest and fail I don’t know what else you will run for,” Mbaka said in an audio clip, switching from Igbo to English.
“Keep your prestige, your honour, your divinely acquired integrity, your professional reputation; go to the World Bank catch a job there.
“I warned him but he didn’t listen, he said he is sure of victory. I got his wife’s number and called her; she was in London. I said this is what I told your husband.”
However, audio tape was from a sermon in 2013, when Soludo was contesting against Willie Obiano. He (Soludo ) would later lose to him (Obiano).
The warning by Mbaka has no connection with the just-concluded governorship race where Soludo won with 112,229 votes.
