The fact remains that whether Fr Mbaka requested for a contract or not, he has a right and in fact, it is his duty to criticise the government where necessary. Garba Shehu did not address the issues that were raised in Father Mbaka's criticism, instead he shamefully tried to silence him by bringing up the issue of contracts. How does that address the issues that were raised in Father Mbaka's message?



I want you to go and watch the full video the Presidency reacted to. In the video, Father Mbaka was praising IPOB and saying they were doing the right thing. I believe the Presidency reacted that way to discredit him. However, I would have preferred if they addressed his support for IPOB.

There are 2 things here.

1) This is what my quoted post was reacting to. Father Mbaka, like any other Nigerian, has the right to ask President Buhari to resign (that is a right that citizens have in a democracy). Furthermore, it is Father Mbaka's job to demand that the government protects its citizens. That is his job as a Catholic priest. That quote is from this thread.


Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Yekini Nabena, has cautioned the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, against making statements that could cause instability in the country, threatening to expose him to the Pope.

Mbaka had called on the National Assembly to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari if he fails to resign over increased insecurity in the country.

Reacting to Mbaka’s statement Friday in Abuja, Nabena said it was unfortunate for a man of God “who is supposed to deploy all known spiritual means of averting crisis but rather threatening a democratically elected government for his own personal benefits while pretending to be speaking for the people.”

While making reference to the book of Mark 4: 35-40 where Jesus Christ calmed the storm when a wild storm came up and the waves crashed over the boat, Nabena said Jesus did not blame anyone but prayed and calmed the storm.

“One would wonder who Father Mbaka is emulating because the Lord Jesus Christ did not threaten to bring down the government during his own time, in fact, Jesus Christ obeyed and honoured constituted authority. That’s why he paid his tax.

“We are calling on Father Mbaka to concentrate on his spiritual calling and stop speaking like politicians who it is obvious he (Mbaka) has been dining and wining with. If Mbaka has found another political ally, it is better to leave a political message for politicians.

“Calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to either resign or be impeached because of the current challenges is ungodly. Father Mbaka should not, however, take his luck too far because there is a lot to tell the Vatican and the Pope about his person and his sources of inspiration”, Nabena said.

The APC chieftain also called on other clerics to “emulate the likes of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG and Pastor WF Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Bible Ministry and many other true men of God who will rather fast and pray to avert a crisis in the country instead of threatening the government of the day”.

2) My second point, which you have agreed with, is that the government (that is, both Yekini Nabena and Garba Shehu) did not address the issues that Father Mbaka raised. It would have been fine if they had addressed the issue of Ipob or any of the other issues that he raised in his criticism. Instead they took a shameful approach by asking him to stay away from politics. Why didn't they say that when he was making statements in support of the APC? In fact, Canon Law forbids him from making the kind of statements that he made in support of the APC. He has a duty to criticise government, but he must not tell his supporters to vote for one candidate against the other or that this is the candidate that he supports in an election. The idea of trying to blackmail him into silence by talking about contracts is utterly shameful.
