Popular Catholic priest and Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has decried the suffering in the land and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address the problems.
Mbaka said Buhari must address the challenges in the country, or risk losing the 2019 elections, Punch reports.
“I can’t keep quiet when things are going wrong,” he said. He urged the president to check his advisers so as not to be led astray.
According to Mbaka, nobody is interested in “Saraki and Ekweremadu this or that”. “To feed is now a problem, and an hungry man is an angry man. Hunger and anger will lead to danger,” he added.
His message which was delivered on Tuesday read in parts:
“The issue is that Mbaka is speaking as the Spirit leads him – there is hunger everywhere. My job is to tell leaders the truth, the landlords are crying, the tenants are lamenting, sellers are crying, buyers are lamenting – there is hunger on the streets.
I can’t keep quiet when things are going wrong.
I am telling the President to look around him and know those who are advising him rightly and those who are telling him that there is no trouble.
The President should know that there is trouble – if things continue like this, in the next election, nobody will vote for him.
Whether they like it or not, I am speaking the raw truth.
If the President should have somebody like me and he cannot be talking with me, then there is a problem.
There is a problem somewhere; somebody who can advise you without asking for anything and he is representing the poor masses in the country and he won’t tell you lies.
He will praise you when you are doing well and when you are not doing well, he will look at you in the face and tell you.
I don’t need the President; I need God, I need the Holy Spirit, I need Jesus; there is suffering everywhere, people are suffering.
To feed is now a problem, and an hungry man is an angry man. Hunger and anger will lead to danger.
So, let him know whether he can do away with some advisers around him and bring in the people who are experts in economic revamp.
There are people who are experts in that; let them begin to empower people, people are not empowered, they are still walking around in vicious circles, planning and planning and planning.
Hunger is everywhere, many neighbours don’t eat again, many are being attacked by hunger, hunger is becoming a normal thing and there are people responsible for this.
Mortuary and ambulance business is now thriving because many cannot afford drugs.
In today’s Nigeria, many are becoming hawkers, who will buy from you? With what?
Everyday, more pipelines are being blown, the Avengers are at work and up till now, there is no solution.
You know when certain things begin to happen, you begin to ask some questions, somebody like me will begin to ask – when will this end?
If it continues in the next three months, there will be no money to pay salaries – the vicious effect is disastrous and when salaries cannot be paid, teachers will come home, students will stop going to school, there will be more kidnappings, more hooliganism, more armed robbery, more prostitution, immorality will be on the increase.”
So, the President should sit up – there is a red light blinking on the country.
The issue of Saraki and Ekweremadu, nobody wants to listen to such stories any more, whether Saraki is the President of the Senate or Ekweremadu is not this or that, the countrymen are tired of such stories.
We need economic experts, gurus, sages that are sincere, who can come in and think about our economic revamp and judicial reformation.”
