Step Down For Buhari, Catholic Priest (rev Fr Mbaka) Tells Jonathan by lightuplightup: 3:07am On Jan 03, 2015
Renowned Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr.
Ejike Mbaka, has urged President
Goodluck Jonathan to abandon his re-
election bid so that the All
Progressives Congress candidate,
Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)
can emerge the winner of the
presidential election next month.
Mbaka, who heads the popular
Catholic Adoration Centre in Enugu,
said this in his New Year sermon titled
“From Good luck to Bad luck,” while
addressing thousands of parishioners
on Thursday.
He urged all well-meaning Nigerians
to vote for Buhari on February 14.
According to the cleric, Jonathan has
disappointed Nigerians and cannot
deliver the dividends of democracy to
the people.
Mbaka subsequently knelt down in
front of the altar, cried and asked God
to give Nigeria a good leader and not
Jonathan. He used the opportunity to
beg Nigerians to vote wisely in the
forthcoming elections.
He said, “I love President Goodluck
Jonathan and I used to be his ardent
fan, but I want good for my people and
that’s why I want Nigerians to vote out
Goodluck Jonathan and vote General
Muhammad Buhari. I don’t care if
Buhari is a Muslim and from the
North; all I care about is that Buhari
can save Nigeria.”
Ironically, Mbaka had recently
endorsed Jonathan’s re-election.
It was learnt that the Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu, had taken
Jonathan’s wife, Patience, to Mbaka,
where the cleric said he would pray
for Jonathan’s victory.
However, after prayers, Mbaka said
the sign he received from God was
that Jonathan was not fit to rule the
nation anymore.
Mbaka further explained that one of
the reasons Jonathan is no longer fit to
rule Nigeria for the next four years
was the high level of insecurity which
the President had failed to address as
well as corruption in the country.
He said it was unfortunate that the
over 200 Chibok girls who were
abducted by terrorists over 200 days
ago had not been rescued despite
series of promises made by Jonathan.
He further urged the Federal
Government to account for the missing
$20bn and stop insurgency in the
country.
Mbaka maintained that Buhari could
not Islamise Nigeria as being
rumoured in some circles.
He said he had never met the APC
candidate but urged Nigerians not to
forget that Buhari fought corruption to
a standstill during his administration
between December 1983 and August
1985.
