| Step Down For Buhari, Catholic Priest Tells Jonathan by johndanny(op): 1:33am On Jan 03, 2015 |
Renowned Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to abandon his re-election bid so that the All Progressives Congress candidate, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) can emerge the winner of the presidential election next month. Mbaka, who heads the popular Catholic Adoration Centre in Enugu, said this in his New Year sermon titled “From Good luck to Bad luck,” while addressing thousands of parishioners on Thursday. He urged all well-meaning Nigerians to vote for Buhari on February 14. According to the cleric, Jonathan has disappointed Nigerians and cannot deliver the dividends of democracy to the people. Mbaka subsequently knelt down in front of the altar, cried and asked God to give Nigeria a good leader and not Jonathan. He used the opportunity to beg Nigerians to vote wisely in the forthcoming elections. He said, “I love President Goodluck Jonathan and I used to be his ardent fan, but I want good for my people and that’s why I want Nigerians to vote out Goodluck Jonathan and vote General Muhammad Buhari. I don’t care if Buhari is a Muslim and from the North; all I care about is that Buhari can save Nigeria.” Ironically, Mbaka had recently endorsed Jonathan’s re-election. It was learnt that the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, had taken Jonathan’s wife, Patience, to Mbaka, where the cleric said he would pray for Jonathan’s victory. However, after prayers, Mbaka said the sign he received from God was that Jonathan was not fit to rule the nation anymore. Mbaka further explained that one of the reasons Jonathan is no longer fit to rule Nigeria for the next four years was the high level of insecurity which the President had failed to address as well as corruption in the country. He said it was unfortunate that the over 200 Chibok girls who were abducted by terrorists over 200 days ago had not been rescued despite series of promises made by Jonathan. He further urged the Federal Government to account for the missing $20bn and stop insurgency in the country. Mbaka maintained that Buhari could not Islamise Nigeria as being rumoured in some circles. He said he had never met the APC candidate but urged Nigerians not to forget that Buhari fought corruption to a standstill during his administration between December 1983 and August 1985. www.punchng.com/news/step-down-for-buhari-catholic-priest-tells-jonathan/ |

Show me a candidate / party that will scrap all the senseless religious body, C A N, PFN make most of these religious leaders irrelevant in our political system, stop government sponsorship to pilgrimage, enact laws to control noise pollution and religious houses must be soundproof, crusade and religious programs be held at govt. Approve places, religious houses be built in specific places and not residential areas as obtainable in other countries, abolish religious ( opening / closing )christian or muslim prayers from any government functions, establishment, schools adopt the national anthem ONLY, then the person or party get my vote. I'm tired of these attention seeking MOGs, Pastors Sultan, islamic clerics making noise, seeing vision and prophesy who will win presidential election and all nonsense, they should face their flocks and shut the hell up on who would be president, pastors, rev father all should face the business of preaching repentance and imams and muslim clerics who says shekau and boko haram are not muslims should educate the future terrorist ( almajiris ) the brand of. Islam that does not encourage violence and suicide bombing. Let them STFU and stop dividing Nigeria with their senseless God told me they feeding us with. Sultan, Orisejafor have got one vote they should use it and vote whoever they want allow politicians campaign for their candidate. They should not meddle into politics and face their business This happen to be my first comment on this forum this year, let me use this as opportunity to wish members of this forum a prosperous and trouble free 2015. Happy new Nlders |
