Enugu Monarch Calls Rev Father Mbaka, ‘a Politician In The Cassock’ by Sapeleboy(m): 8:19pm On Jan 25, 2015
The last appears not to have been heard
over the Enugu Catholic Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka’s
new year message that President Goodluck
Jonathan should forget re-election for lack
of performance.
The traditional ruler of Egali Amalla
autonomous community in Udenu local
government area of Enugu State, Igwe
Patrick Eze (Waziri), said Mbaka remained a
politician in the cassock . “It is better for
Mbaka to join politics, contest election to
have a taste of power other than calling
people names, asking the president to
resign. Who actually made Fr.
Mbaka a judge that determines who should
be entrusted with power. Rev. Fr. Mbaka
should resign as a priest and join politics
since he has shifted from God’s vineyard to
politics,”Eze said.
He continued: “The name Mbaka is an
identity and not the human as there is
nothing so special, simply because he is a
priest in Catholic.
Let him face the Catholic faithful, evangelize
to win souls for God rather than tongue
lashing the president as being corrupt.
The Catholic preacher ought to have devoted
more time, fasting and praying for the
release of the Chibok girls than apportioning
blames for insecurity”.
The traditional ruler was displeased that the
First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, and the
deputy Senate President, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu, visited Mbaka’s Adoration
Ministry in the first place, explaining that the
visit triggered the priest’s somersault. Eze
pointed out that the somersault was
surprising as he had earlier blessed Patience
Jonathan to continue as Nigerian’s First Lady
after the 2015 general elections, pointing
out that the u-turn was a clear
manifestation of a politician in cleric
uniform preaching politics instead of the
word of God to over 30,000 worshipers
every Wednesday.
“Mbaka, having said that one out of the four
birds he released on the First Lady’s visit to
the Adoration Ground refused to fly,
indicating that Jonathan would not be re-
elected as president, what happened to the
other three that flew? Can’t the three fight
for Jonathan if actually the message was
divine?”, he stated.
“My new year message to my community
and the state generally is not personal on
Fr.Mbaka as the biblical injunction says ‘’
touch not my anointed and do my prophet
no harm’. Mbaka should equally know that
Jonathan was also anointed by over 150
million Nigerians in the 2011 general
elections in the country”.
On the claim by the priest that he has been
receiving threat messages since the new
year message in which he asked Nigerians
not to re-elect Jonathan, the monarch asked
Mbaka not cry wolf where none exists as he
ought to have delivered the message about
the bird that refused to fly to the First Lady
during her visit to Adoration Ground. “If Gen
Mohammed Buhari, with the APC
presidential ticket, was Fr. Mbaka’s choice,
let him campaign for him through his
sermon and pull over 30,000 worshipers of
the Adoration to the APC. The January 4,
2015 message to the congregation was
meant to discredit Jonathan’s
transformation agenda (TAN) of openness,
fairplay justice, honesty and accountability”,
Eze stated.
“The clerk delves into politics in the name of
God. During the era of erstwhile Governor
Chimaroke Nnamani, Mbaka vowed to drop
his cassock should Chimaroke win election
for second term in office but failed to keep
his words when Chimaroke was re-elected.
‘’During the time of Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo
as National Chairman of the PDP, he
preached a message titled, Nsukka Ndo nu
(meaning Nsukka sorry) to slight the
teeming population of Nsukka.
“It is only in Nigeria that you see men of God
that predict what will happen in other
countries both in the air and under the sea
but would not predict the collapse of their
churches. We expect men of God to preach
messages of salvation and repentance, pray
for the survival of the nation rather than
delving into politics to gain cheap
popularity.
“Most of the men of God crave for
recognition and that is why they mount the
pulpit to attack those in the authority in the
country. If Mbaka feels threatened, let him
seek police protection but he should equally
remember that he has laid his life for Christ
on the day of his ordination.”
2015 ELECTIONS
The monarch urged the electorate to use
their tongues to count their teeth in the
next month’s general elections. Saying
politicians employ all manners of antics to
find their way into the corridor of power, he
said: “We should all be aware that the unity
of the country is paramount no matter
whose ox is gored. Elections are not a do or
die affair. Power belongs to God, so people
should not force themselves into power to
the detriment of the electorate.
“Nigerians have waited for so long for the
2015 general elections and we should go
about it with the fear of God who is ultimate
decider of life and death. Any contestant
that loses out should quietly wait for God’s
appointed time if any, as we do not deserve
violence and blood bath as recorded in
2011.
“May I use this medium to advise all PDP
guber aspirants litigant to sheath their
sword and join hands with the consensus
candidate, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who was
anointed by Gov. Sullivan Chime, the National
Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Muazu,
and Enugu State stakeholders who
described Ugwuanyi as the most popular
and acceptable candidate to fly the flag of
the party in the state. The sweetest part of
Chime’s administration was fulfilling his
avowed promise of giving the guber ticket
to Enugu North unlike his predecessors who
made similar promise but reneged.
Governor Chime stuck his neck for Nsukka to
produce the next governor of the state and
that is the more reason all the litigants from
the zone in the PDP should wind down and
join hands with their kinsman, Ugwuanyi,
for effective governance. The zoning
formular that played out in Enugu is now a
template for continuity. God has been
merciful to the people of Enugu through
Chime. I believe Ugwuanyi will deliver as
expected.

This monarch is so intelligent and sensible. He has spoken well. Mbaka is just nothing but a nonentity, I don't even comment on his mad sermons.
Rather than me to sit and listen to mbaka or his type preach for a second, I rather remain an atheist for life
