Mbaka has said that while President Muhammadu Buhari is “change,” former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar is “bureau de change.”
Mbaka described Atiku as bureau de change, according to him, because of
the foreign currencies that allegedly exchanged hands at the National
Convention of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, before the ex-VP emerged
the party’s presidential candidate.
Mbaka however predicted that Atiku will defeat Buhari in 2019 but warned
him not to emulate Buhari if he is elected the president.
The fiery cleric said this while addressing his congregation at the
Adoration Ground.
“So let the will of God be done in Nigeria. It is like what I have been
saying Buhari change or you will be changed”
Mbaka said that Buhari had all the human and material resources at his
disposal to make the country better but rather chose to play ethnic,
despotic politics.
“What will it take you; change the Chief of Staff, change B, change C,
change this and change that; even if it will take 20 Igbo men or 20 Yoruba
men to change Nigeria; take all of them. Look at what (Chukwuma) Soludo
did in the Central Bank; he has assured Nigeria and the whole world that
there is nothing like bank collapse again.
“An Igbo man did this, why can’t Buhari take Soludo for the economic
revival and revamping of Nigeria’s economy? And you are busy talking about
corruption, playing game with the lives of Nigerians from the issue of
Fulani herdsmen to Boko Haram to Jos killings. You said somebody stole,
what did he steal?
“Someday, they said the government has spent trillions of naira on social
investment scheme and I want to know who are the people they were spending
the money on; the Vice President said they are giving N10,000 to small
scale businesses and I asked, is this how they will transform Nigeria? You
give somebody N10,000 for business, what type of business will N10,000
start?
“Somebody will have billions and want to take the one belonging to the
public while hunger will be killing his people. Look at the type of money
they shared during the primaries to the extent that they brought Bureau de
Change. They said Buhari is change, but Atiku is bureau de change. They
were sharing the money in dollars and it was going out in millions of
dollars in Nigeria where hunger is killing people; where you don’t have
food to eat.
“If they spend such monies to get ticket, how do you think that when they
get into power they will rule, of course, they will first recover the
money they have spent but the worst is that the money was not being shared
to the poor,” he lamented.
Speaking further, the prophet described the cost of APC Expression of
Interest and Nomination forms as outrageous.
According to him, if the leadership of the party had conscience, they
would not have collected N24 million from people to obtain the forms.
“There are some people that sold their land to pay for this form because
of the promise they were made. I don’t think these politicians were
thinking of heaven that is why they are ready to kill anybody that stands
on their way,” he said.
Mbaka said that Atiku may not be able to solve the problems of Nigeria if
he emerged victorious.
“If anybody is thinking that if Atiku becomes the President of Nigeria
things will get better, ‘who born you’ because for this country to be good
it is easier for a carmel to pass through the eye of a needle than this
country to be good,” he said, urging that Nigerians must do their part to
make Nigeria the nation of their dream.
The fiery preacher predicted defeat for the APC but said that there was
still opportunity for change.
“There are no people that will develop this country that are not in
Nigeria. We have people who will develop this nation; but our President
left the same type of people who don’t have the same type of vision around
him and everything they do is in your head.
“After you are removed, they will bring people that will flog you because
you messed up the opportunities because you didn’t listen to the word of
God. You didn’t listen to the man of God you have and you were disobeying
him.
“The price of disobedience is disgrace,” he declared.
