Renowned Enugu-based Catholic priest Rev. Father
Camillus Ejike Mbaka yesterday reversed his
support for President Goodluck Jonathan over his
inability to stop corruption and loss of innocent
lives.
He spoke while delivering a sermon tagged, “From
Good luck to Bad luck,” during the end-of-year
mass Wednesday night at the Adoration Ground,
Emene, Enugu.
Rev. Father Mbaka, Founder of Adoration Ministry,
Enugu said Jonathan has surrounded himself with
very corrupt public officials. As a result, he said,
the President has turned a blind eye to their
corrupt activities while millions of Nigerians suffer
daily in abject poverty and endless insecurity.
He said: “Jonathan has ruled for six years. We
need change. NEPA is not working because of
corruption. The privatization of public companies
has not yielded any fruit because of corruption.
“Jonathan surrounded himself with very corrupt
officers who advise him. Nigerians are sick and
tired of wasting innocent lives without government
doing enough to stop the destruction.”
He said he and millions of Nigerians were
disappointed by the government’s failure to
ensure the release of the Chibok girls kidnapped
by the Boko Haram terrorists over 200 days ago.
“Up till now, nobody knows the whereabouts of
the innocent Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko
Haram and we say we have a government that
cannot guarantee the welfare, safety and security
of the citizens,” he told the congregation of over
30,000 worshippers.
The cleric said he resisted delivering the sermon
which he said came from the Holy Ghost but that
God warned him to ensure the message was given
to the nation not minding whose ox was gored.
Fr. Mbaka recently anointed Mrs. Patience
Jonathan as the next First Lady in 2015. The First
Lady, and the Deputy Senate President Senator Ike
Ekweremadu worshipped at the Adoration
Ministry where the First Lady admitted that she
experienced “a spiritual rebirth.”
Fr. Mbaka that day released some birds that he
said would go and fight for Jonathan.
But on Wednesday night Fr. Mbaka said Jonathan
was going nowhere as far as next year’s election
was concerned, recalling that one of the birds –
which he released during Mrs. Jonathan’s visit has
refused to fly.
“All the other birds I released flew away but the
healthiest of them which is Jonathan’s bird could
not fly. I tried to make it fly but it could not fly,” he
recalled to a hugely excited congregation that
cheered him on.
When Jonathan was aspiring to become Nigeria’s
President, Mbaka said he was happy like other
Nigerians but that the bad luck which millions of
the citizens had faced since he came into office
was quite disturbing; hence the masses want a
change.
“Nigerians are calling for change. We need a
change,” he repeated. “We don’t want to move
from bad luck to bad luck; Nigerians want to move
from bad luck to good luck,” he said.
Fr. Mbaka criticised other priests who, he alleged,
visited the Presidential Villa and other
Government Houses in the country to hold
“Breakfast Prayer” with the politicians only to
collect fat envelopes of money rather than “tell the
politicians the level of hardship the poor masses
are suffering.”
He added: “The men of God only go there to dine
and wine with the leaders for their own welfare
without telling them the truth. But I’m happy that I,
Fr. Mbaka, I’m not that type of priest. If you want
money, I dash you money because the God I serve
has blessed me abundantly.”
Commenting on the presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Head
of State General Muhammadu Buhari, Fr. Mbaka,
said Buhari cannot Islamise Nigeria as being
rumoured in some circles.
He said he had never met the General but recalled
that he fought corruption seriously as Head of
State.
“I don’t know Buhari. I have never sat with him
before. I am not being partisan, but I want total
change in Nigeria.
“Buhari cannot make Nigeria an Islamic country
because we are in democracy. It was IBB
government that dragged Nigeria into OIC. When
Buhari fought corruption, people became careful
about their actions. Anyone who says Buhari will
Islamise Nigeria is not being fair,” said Mbaka.
He added that he was not bothered whether the
next President would be a Northerner or Yoruba
or Igbo so long as the person fights corruption
and means well for the citizens.
“If a northerner will rule the country and
insecurity will stop, so be it. If a Yoruba man will
rule Nigeria in 2015 and we have peace and stop
the shedding of innocent blood, so be it. Nigerians
are tired of wasting innocent lives,” he said.
The end-of-year Adoration mass was attended by
some notable politicians from Enugu, Ebonyi and
Anambra States.

Mbaka should stop dabbling into politics. I hope the Catholic Church sanctions him for this. He can support whoever he wishes but not to campaign in Church for or against anyone.

INEC Final Guber List: No PDP Candidate In Imo, Okorocha/Madumere For APC

by 247UREPORTS
January 2, 2015 Reports No Comments 2170 views



The Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] has released its list of gubernatorial candidates today January 2, 2015. The list was pasted on the walls of the INEC headquarters in Abuja on the evening of today.


The list showed that the Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha and his current deputy, Prince Madumere would be flying the party banner for the All Progressive Congress [APC] while Captain Iheanacho will be flying the All Progressive Grand Alliance [APGA] banner. According to the INEC list, the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] does not have a gubernatorial candidate for the 2015 exercise in Imo state.

The deputy speaker of the house of representatives, Hon. Ihedioha had been embroiled in a tussle of the results of the PDP gubernatorial primaries with the other contestants – which included the former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim and another stakeholder in the party, Mazi Ararume. The primaries was tagged inconclusive following the pronouncement by the three major players – that they had won the primaries.

Ohakim in an interview pointed to a possible external influence as responsible for the troubles with the party in Imo. He implied that the executive administrators in the state may be responsible for the inability of the PDP to present a guber candidate.
