The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN) Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has stated that former President Goodluck Jonathan would not have lost the 2015 election if he had listened to him.
Naijaonpoint reports that Mbaka stated this in a viral video while clarifying his earlier statement that the insecurity ravaging the country has a political undertone.
According to the cleric, some forces were orchestrating the crisis to sabotage the President’s chances of a second term.
However, speaking via a fresh video, Mbaka said he advised Jonathan to remove the then Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega, but his advice was not taken seriously.
Mbaka argued that Jonathan’s failure was due to his miscalculation, stating that the former president disobeyed the “advice of a man of God”.
“Forget about what they are saying on social media; former President Goodluck Jonathan was my friend; the case is different.
“Jonathan didn’t fail because I failed him; he decided to fail. I told him what to do to win the election, but he refused.
“He failed because he disobeyed the advice of a man of God. I told him to remove Jega, that Jega had already betrayed him, but he refused to remove Jega”, he said.
