Elders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State have backed the Governor Emeka Ihedioha-led state government.

Naija News reports that Fr Mbaka had in his 2020 prophecy, predicted that candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Imo governorship election of March 9, 2019, in Imo, Hope Uzodinma, will become the governor of the State.

“I don’t know the manner the revelation will manifest but no prophecy has ever been declared on this prayer ground without coming to pass,” Mbaka had said.

“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 is coming with a new flag to restore the dignity of that noble land. New leadership will break barriers and there would be joy in the land of Imo. Lift your candles as I bless Hope Uzodinma and I empower him spiritually to take over. How I do not know.”

Reacting in a statement after its meeting in Owerri signed by Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the elders described the pronouncement as sad.
