*Says those doing so enemies of Nigeria

*Asks President to demonstrate he doesn’t identify with corrupt ones

Enugu-based Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, said Friday night that those who were wishing President Muhammadu Buhari dead could only be enemies of Nigeria as, according to him, Bible does not encourage such practice.

Mbaka, who said President was in a dilemma of a good hearted leader surrounded with officials of different motives, placed curses on all public officers in Nigeria who looted the treasury of the country, saying that they must all suffer for their actions.

Delivering a sermon at the first Adoration Crusade for the year, Mbaka said President Buhari as an individual meant well for Nigeria, “but unfortunately, he surrounded himself with officials who have different agenda”.

Mbaka said: “Buhari has good intentions for the country, unfortunately, his subordinates have different agenda – they are interested in their pockets.”

He urged the president to demonstrate that he is not identifying with corrupt officials by “doing the needful”.

“Those wishing the president death don’t love this country. Children of God, what do people gain by wishing somebody death? We should pray for our leaders; that is what the Bible says,” he added.

Mbaka enjoined Nigerians not to lose hope, saying there is light at the end of the tunnel.
