‘Churches Were Defiled, Turned To Grounds For Politicking, Atrocities During Elections,’ Father Mbaka Apologises On Behalf Of Nigerian Pastors

The spiritual Director of the Adoration Chaplaincy, Enugu, Fr Ejike Mbaka, has prayed for God's forgiveness for church leaders over the positions they took during the 2023 presidential elections.

SaharaReporters had reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, the winner of the election.

The Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party alongside their candidates in the election have filed suits to challenge the outcome of the election.

Speaking on Wednesday at his Adoration Ground, the outspoken Catholic priest told the congregation that the positions the church leaders took messed up the altar of God.

In a video of the event seen by SaharaReporters on Friday, Mbaka said, “God, forgive us, forgive the Church, we have gotten it wrong this time.

“I apologise on behalf of the whole men of God, the whole pastors, the whole priests and the whole bishops. I’m not worthy to apologise for Bishops, but I’m apologising.

“Let the mercy of God descend because what we did within the political moment….a lot of indescribable political brouhaha and political jingoisms and atrocities (were committed).

“We manifested and buried the power of sacrament beneath political forces, political hocks and vultures; they want to vulturise the Church.

“We turned the churches into campaign centres, turned the churches into places of politicking.

“We messed up the altar, we defiled the Altar. How do we want power to move from altar that has been defiled? We cannot continue with such iniquities.

“I pray that God will forgive us forgive us Oh Lord, forgive Your Church, forgive Christianity in Nigeria.”

Mbaka, who spoke in both English and Igbo, said: “We have gotten it wrong this time. Amen.

“Just let it be like this. If you want to misunderstand me, that is your business.”

Ok

Our religious leaders should stop misleading their followers

They turned the church altar to political campaign ground. All religions need to be banned sef.

Wahala for you people o

Thank God sanity is returning to our religious society

Kudos to your Rev Father
you've done your own part

Same Mbaka that Campaigned for Hope and Buhari?

And even used the altar to campaign against a sitting Imo state governor, Ikedi Ohakim, over a propaganda?

He must be a slowpoke. Seems the suspension didn't add anything to his head

Dr Enerche should emulate someone like Fr. Mbaka and apologize to the public...

Shut up.

Which Mbaka?

Seems you were after 2015

Na this 2023 I know say we get more than enough Mumu some people are still waiting and trying to force dere Pastor to tell them who to Vote like they don't know dere right from left...


With cheap internet wey u get u no fit go online du ur findings compare and contrast den u choose from dere buh dem still wait dere pastor to endorse candidate...



He come be like say all this Traditional worshipers are even more organized you will hardly see Dem put mouth in election mata dere followers no dey wait for instructions from dere Chief Priest....

Fake pastors Paul Eneche and Sarah Omakwu over to you. Instead of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ you have turned the pulpits to politcal campaigns despite being aware how Jesus drove out those that were selling and buying in the synagogoue. Eneche has stopped preaching since after elections but just continue with campaign of calumn against political opponents. I doubt if you guys were called by true God. I think gods of Okija Shrine are the one that called you fake pastors. No wonder one is calling other human beings created by God apes and other sort of names. What a shame!

Have you apologized for trying to extort money from Peter Obi through manipulation?

You turned the house of God into a den of thieves. That is the worst any 'man of God' can do. Jesus had to chase away people like Mbaka with cane.

Mbaka advertised Buhari as the 'messiah'. When Buhari refused to give him contract, he started attacking Buhari and became Bishop of IPOB.

The dude is a hypocritcal snake.

He should call Peter Obi to order. Politics in churches worked for him in Anambra, but it failed woefully Federally.

The other regions in Nigeria are very enlightened and would choose competency several times of religious bigotry.

Lizzysamuel:

People in the South East would still have not voted him if Pastor Adeboye or the Pope himself was Tinubu's running mate, so he chose a candidate that will maximize his chance of winning.

And this is not the first time in Nigeria that we are having Muslim Muslim ticket. Don't let religion be a stumbling block.im you choosing a candidate.

Shut up then.

You have the person that ran on religious reasons and you're blaming the one that ran on a balanced ticket.

According to you guys Tinubu's Mu-Mu ticket and going to mosque is strategy😆. But another person going to church is Campaign😆😆

And that mate is an APC.

Despite Peter Obi shouting in a church in Taraba that the Christians should take their country back. The divisive man still chop sand las las. I am a Christian, and I voted against bigotry and hate. I voted for Tinubu.

MUSLIM MUSLIM ticket is a ticket of bigotry.

Raising a walking stick to dance when national anthem is being played is a sign of mental illness, not competence.

MasterJayJay:

MUSLIM MUSLIM ticket is a ticket of bigotry.

So MKO/Tofa ticket too is bigotry shey. 🥱

Ibrahimcoomasie:

Those screenshot bare damning. Peter Obi, the chief Bigot himself.

Yet they all failed in their permutations.

Who is more guilty of this sin more than fr. mbaka himself? Is this not the same priest that told nigerians few years ago that his god told him that buhari and uzodima are the promised messiahs?
