Controversial Catholic Priest. Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has apologized to Peter Obi for declaring him a stingy man.
Mbaka had during a sermon in his church said Obi would never become Nigeria’s President.
According to him it was better to have an old man as President than a ‘stingy young man’ like Peter Obi.
However, Mbaka in a statement today, begged Obi for forgiveness and prayed for his success.
“I am a servant of God and my intention is not to malign His Excellency, Peter Obi’s image, but to pray for him. May God’s will be done in his life. I pray to God whom I serve to give our beloved people good and excellent leaders who will take care of them and lead them to the promised land. Anyone who God wishes to make our leader is my choice,” he said.
“In this vein, I give my blessings to His Excellency Peter Obi and his supporters, I also give my blessings to the other candidates and their supporters whose intention is also to give Nigeria good leaders. In any way, the supporters of Mr Peter Obi feel offended by my utterances or however I was misunderstood by them, I ask for their understanding and forgiveness…,” he added.
