HURIWA To Drag Mbaka To Vatican Over Prophesy On Buhari

A pro-Democracy Non-governmental organisation,
the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, has
dismissed Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka's "prophesy"
of an assassination attempt on President
Muhammadu Buhari by corrupt politicians.
HURIWA described it as sensational and rumour
peddling.
The group said the prophesy therefore should be
seen for what it truly is: delusional fantasy.
Mbaka, the Head of the Adoration Ministries, based
in Enugu, Enugu State, had in his New Year message
said some corrupt politicians were after Buhari.
Against the backdrop of the prophesy, HURIWA asked
the Nigerian Catholic hierarchy to sanction Mbaka for
abandoning his sacred vocation and deviating into
the profane and mundane roadside career of high
wire politics hiding under the canopy of his Catholic's
Priestly vocation.
The Rights group said it has resolved to drag Mbaka
to Pope Francis if within 21 days the Catholic Bishops
Conference of Nigeria fails to reprimand him and
stop him from associating actively and notoriously
with politicians at both national and regional levels.
HURIWA accused the Catholic priest of engaging in
cheap and childish rumour mongering and sophistry.
It said said the Catholic Church's leadership must call
him to order because he has become a political loose
canon who can't separate sermons from partisan
politics.
HURIWA said Mbaka's prophesy lacks scientific and
empirical evidence and smacks of sensationalism
and therefore qualifies as an unmitigated emotional
fallacy and a misdirected outburst, which should be
disregarded.
In a statement signed jointly by the National
Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, and the
National Media Affairs Director, Zainab Yusuf,
HURIWA said Mbaka should cover his face in shame
for displaying gross ignorance of the workings of the
democratic and law based tenets and provisions of
the constitution, which deems suspects brought
before the court of competent jurisdiction as totally
innocent in the eye of the law until contrary
determination is made by the Court in line with due
process of the law.
The statement said: "Fr Mbaka is putting his priestly
calling and office to the pecuniary services of the All
Progressives Congress of President Buhari because it
is barely two weeks he was photographed smiling
with his Political host in the Presidential mansion
President Muhammadu Buhari that he emerged from
his delusional hibernation to manufacture rooster-
and -bull story about some plots to assassinate Mr
President by corrupt politicians."
Dismissing the prophesy as delusional and empty,
the Rights group added: "Is Fr Mbaka a judge who
has passed presiding over cases of alleged graft
involving any immediate past political office holder
and adjudged them guilty of corrupt practices? Is Fr
Mbaka unaware that as the Commander-In-Chief of
the Nigerian Armed Forces that President
Muhammadu Buhari is the most protected citizen in
Nigeria now with hundreds of well armed and highly
trained professional guards drawn from the Nigerian
Military and the Secret Police headed by President
Muhammadu Buhari's Kinsman? Is Fr Mbaka
unaware that Nigeria under President Muhammadu
Buhari is waging a counter terror war and that the
armed Islamists have vowed in several media
recordings to kill not just the Commander in chief but
officials of government? This MBAKA'S whitewash
must be consigned to the dustbins without further
delay."
