Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has stated that he still loves Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka despite the cleric’s public attack on him .
The cleric had said that Peter Obi will
never become Nigeria’s president,
Obi said this during a radio interview in Lagos.
Obi said “For me, Father Mbaka is an ordained priest of God, and as a priest remains my priest and I will always respect and show my allegiance to the Church.
“Whatever he says, I take it because he is my father in faith. I respect him, any day.
“And he is my brother. We are very close. Whenever he says something wrong, I pray over it. When he says something right, I pray over it.
“So, mine is prayers. Whatever he does, I love him. I don’t have any problem with him.
“Whatever he says, I put it in prayer. If he says i will not be voted for because i don’t have money, my prayer is may God make this people who are collecting money to vote to see reason why they should not do so.
” In fact, I travelled when he said that (Peter Obi will not be president). If I was there, I would tell him, “pray for me since you are seeing this, pray for me to overcome it because, actually, that is what I tell every pastor. I meet pastors everyday who tell me, “Peter Obi this is going to happen..”. I tell them, “since you have seen it, let’s pray that it doesn’t happen.”
