APC kicks as Enugu Catholic Diocese transfers Mbaka

The All Progressive Congress on Sunday condemned the transfer of the founder of the Adoration Ministries, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, to a new parish by the Enugu Catholic Diocese.

Mbaka was moved from the Christ the King Parish, G.R.A, in Enugu metropolis, which he presided over as parish priest for over 20 years, to Our Lady Parish, in Emene, a suburb of the Coal City.

It was gathered that Mbaka, who was the parish priest-in-charge at the CKC Parish, G.R.A, will serve as an assistant parish priest in the new parish.

In a statement made available to journalists in Enugu, the APC South-East Caucus spokesman, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, said “it was wrong to punish the fearless priest for his prophecies which has proved to be from God”.

Okechukwu alleged that the transfer was influenced by outside forces.

The South-East APC spokesman expressed concerns over Mbaka’s safety, adding that his followers may find it difficult to get to Emene for programmes of the Adoration Ministry.

He said, “Whereas we accept that the transfer of priests is a routine exercise of the great Catholic Church, however we do not wholly accept a situation where the church allows external forces to influence transfer as the Mbaka’s case suggests.

“Otherwise, future liberation clergy who speak truth to power will be hamstrung to the detriment of the society.

“Our major concern is the security implications and the fate of his flocks who are mostly the downtrodden who may find it difficult to go to Emene for salvation and healing.

“We frown at anything which will put Fr. Mbaka in harms way or deny his flocks healing.”

The APC condemns all attacks on Mbaka, Okuchukwu said, noting that the party was in solidarity with the fiery priest.

Okechukwu further noted that Mbaka had been under stringent attack from Buhari’s opponents since he prophesied that Buhari would win the presidential election.

He accused the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo of playing a role in Mbaka’s travails.

“As a party we have watched with concern and trepidation the criticism, the attack, assault and unpleasant comments hurled against Fr. Mbaka since he providentially prophesied that President Buhari would win the 2015 elections.

“Even the Church did not spare him – he was called unprintable names, yet his prophecy came true.

“We are happy that Fr. Mbaka was vindicated.

“It must be pointed out that accusing fingers were pointed at the direction of some anti-Buhari elements like Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a group that didn’t want to hear the name of Buhari – even though Ohanaeze denied the allegation, doubts still persists.

“For we are still at a loss why a senior priest will be degraded to an assistant parish priest.

“We repeat that we are in solidarity with Fr. Mbaka and our major concern is the security of Fr. Mbaka and the suffering of his flocks mostly the poor who need his healing powers.

“We had thought that His Lordship Bishop Calistus Onaga could have retained him at the Adoration Ground, as the Bishop Emeritus Gbuji did because of security of his life and easy access by his flocks,” the APC chieftain added.

Our correspondent observed that thousands of Mbaka’s followers wept uncontrollably as they escorted him and about 30 lorry-loads of his belongings to the new parish.

Ok

These yeye clowns are just making noise.
What are they even doing in SE... Or to get small crumbs from the Party.. Lmao
Visionless and most clueless party.

Lol APC kicks indeed

When did APC start caring about people's lives? At least I know the APC president cares less about the reckless killings going on under his watch.


Please they should let Mbaka be, their poke-nosing into his affairs will only give him a bad reputation.

APC should take their politics elsewhere, definitely not in the house of the lord, after all, Jonathan is no longer in power for them to blame, or are they trying to castigate our bishop? No catholic amongst them would say that. Even Christ went around doing good.
Meanwhile, those that he going to meet would also be happy, after all, they are human beings and serve the best.

APC a political party kicking against the transfer of a cleric? How are they related again?

Bubu, We are hungry please could you give us those crumbs from under your table.. ..

This simply shows how clueless n stwepid apc politicians are. Its a normal practice for priests to be transfered to other parishes within his diocese. Even some pentecostal churches transfer their pastors to other branches.

What's all these Noice about, is emene not in enugu? Nawah ooo

APC should live the church alone, Fr Mbaka is just one priest in the church who can be transfered to any part of the world...if the western world can send priests as far as congo,east tamor to go and head a congregation, who is Fr Mbaka not to go to emene........ MBAKA WHY

;Dy

eyaaaaqqq,,, this is to show that Catholic churches and parishes are part of politics It's painful indeed

they escorted him and about 30 lorry-loads of his belongings to the new parish.

So much for a man that is packing into one-room apartment.

Mbaka is a clown!

He lost my respect since the day he began romancing with APC.

The bribe he received from the evil party that made him release that talk prior to election will expose him and his evil deeds someday.

What is prophetic about deceiving gullible Christians with that his talk when election was around the corner

Prophet my foot!

What has APC got to do with the transfer of a Priest?
Has the Church become a political association or an arm of government or the Civil service? Is he d only Priest dat has ever been transfered or cos he is becoming their campaign officer?
Instead of dem to protest about the failing economy, falling naira, mass retrenchment going on, swapping of the budget submitted by Mr President , retarding economy, robbing of the common man by the government through stamp duty on all banking transactions, selling of fuel at 87naira when our refineries are functioning and price of crude is at all time low, innocent Nigerians are being killed on a daily basis civilians and military alike and all we hear everyday are political statements of how the terrorist have been defeated technically, when inspite of no electricity supply tarrif is going up, just to mention a few n the transfer of a priest is what the Enugu chapter of APC deems most important. All is well, JEHOVAH is our strength.

So you know it is the church that is incharge of transferring parish priests and yet you blame Ohaneze? APC with their blames game Pls next time tell Oshomole to blame Jonathan, Ngozi Okonjo and God
