taken to stop all those fake prophets of doom who capitalise on the gullibility of our people to wreak havoc in our communities, their activities will desecrate the land.
“Mr Speaker from the foregoing, I rise to move a motion that fake prophets like Ubadimma, his cohorts and their activities including prophecy be banned henceforth throughout the three local government areas of Izzi land.
“That any village or community, which may wish to engage the activity of any pastor henceforth must get the approval from the LGA chairman, the Development Center Coordinator, the President of the town union, and the document duly signed by the village head and the stakeholders.
“I further urge my honourable colleagues to throw their weights behind this all-important motion to enthrone peace and harmony in our rural areas. I so move.”
Mr Kingsley Ikoro, the Leader of the house supported the motion and expressed displeasure, that the property of Chief Ekpono was vandalised.
He described Prophet Ubadimma as the real wizard in the community and enjoined the security agencies to do the needful, by arresting the perpetrators.
“Mr Speaker and my colleagues, we see the type of sad circumstances we found ourselves, because I do not see where a man who is in the village, who does nothing as a youth, who wakes up in the morning, and does not go to work claims that his destinies are tied.
“Who tied your destiny when you do not work? You cannot give what you don’t have.
“You will not earn if you don’t work. I am totally in line with this motion, although sad, because a man’s wealth; building, all have been destroyed.
“Mr Speaker, colleagues, the Prophet Ubadimma is the actual witch and wizard all join together, because I do not see where you go to claim that the entire community, that a man has tied their destinies.
