The Southern Nigeria Christian Elders’ Forum (SOCEF) yesterday said that the the “prophetic message” of Enugu Catholic priest, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, concerning President Goodluck Jonathan is not from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit but rather his mere personal opinion.

Bishop David Eberechukwu, who's the Chairman of the Forum,gave the group's stand while addressing journalists shortly after their meeting in Enugu, said it was not the first time Mbaka would be making such claims.

“In 2003, he said that then Governor Chimaroke Nnamani would not get re-election and that if that happens, he would remove his cassock; indeed, Chimaroke was re-elected and up till today, he has not removed his cassock. So, his message is just a personal opinion; it didn’t come from the impulse of the Holy Spirit,” he said.
