The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, has been accused by the Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka, of shunning him.
The cleric in his 2020 new year message had predicted that Uzodinma would be sworn in as governor.
“In spite of all that would happen this 2020, there is hope. In Imo State, there is hope. Hope, hope, hope … hope in Imo State!
“Imo people have suffered (but) God is raising a new hope that would be an agent of salvation for them”, he said.
Mbaka gave this prediction, when Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party was still Governor of the state.
The Supreme Court weeks after the prediction directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue Uzodinma a certificate of return.
Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who read the judgement, stated that the candidate of the APC won on grounds that he polled majority of the lawful votes cast at the election.
However, Mbaka has revealed that the Imo State Governor since he assumed power has not answered his phone calls.
He further stated that Uzodinma was yet return to the church to show appreciation.
“It’s not that I’m asking for money, it’s that I should advise him for good governance”, Mbaka said.
