Renowned Enugu-based Catholic priest Rev. Father Camillus Ejike Mbaka yesterday reversed his support for President Goodluck Jonathan over his inability to stop corruption and loss of innocent lives. He spoke while delivering a sermon tagged, “From Good luck to Bad luck,” during the end-of-year mass Wednesday night at the Adoration Ground, Emene, Enugu. Rev. Father Mbaka, Founder of Adoration Ministry, Enugu said Jonathan has surrounded himself with very corrupt public officials. As a result, he said, the President has turned a blind eye to their corrupt activities while millions of Nigerians suffer daily in abject poverty and endless insecurity. He said: “Jonathan has ruled for six years. We need change. NEPA is not working because of corruption. The privatization of public companies has not yielded any fruit because of corruption. “Jonathan surrounded himself with very corrupt officers who advise him. Nigerians are sick and tired of wasting innocent lives without government doing enough to stop the destruction.” He said he and millions of Nigerians were disappointed by the government’s failure to ensure the release of the Chibok girls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorists over 200 days ago. “Up till now, nobody knows the whereabouts of the innocent Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram and we say we have a government that cannot guarantee the welfare, safety and security of the citizens,” he told the congregation of over 30,000 worshippers. The cleric said he resisted delivering the sermon which he said came from the Holy Ghost but that God warned him to ensure the message was given to the nation not minding whose ox was gored. Fr. Mbaka recently anointed Mrs. Patience Jonathan as the next First Lady in 2015. The First Lady, and the Deputy Senate President Senator Ike Ekweremadu worshipped at the Adoration Ministry where the First Lady admitted that she experienced “a spiritual rebirth.” Fr. Mbaka that day released some birds that he said would go and fight for Jonathan. But on Wednesday night Fr. Mbaka said Jonathan was going nowhere as far as next year’s election was concerned, recalling that one of the birds – which he released during Mrs. Jonathan’s visit has refused to fly. “All the other birds I released flew away but the healthiest of them which is Jonathan’s bird could not fly. I tried to make it fly but it could not fly,” he recalled to a hugely excited congregation that cheered him on. When Jonathan was aspiring to become Nigeria’s President, Mbaka said he was happy like other Nigerians but that the bad luck which millions of the citizens had faced since he came into office was quite disturbing; hence the masses want a change. “Nigerians are calling for change. We need a change,” he repeated. “We don’t want to move from bad luck to bad luck; Nigerians want to move from bad luck to good luck,” he said. Fr. Mbaka criticised other priests who, he alleged, visited the Presidential Villa and other Government Houses in the country to hold “Breakfast Prayer” with the politicians only to collect fat envelopes of money rather than “tell the politicians the level of hardship the poor masses are suffering.” He added: “The men of God only go there to dine and wine with the leaders for their own welfare without telling them the truth. But I’m happy that I, Fr. Mbaka, I’m not that type of priest. If you want money, I dash you money because the God I serve has blessed me abundantly.” Commenting on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Head of State General Muhammadu Buhari, Fr. Mbaka, said Buhari cannot Islamise Nigeria as being rumoured in some circles. He said he had never met the General but recalled that he fought corruption seriously as Head of State. “I don’t know Buhari. I have never sat with him before. I am not being partisan, but I want total change in Nigeria. “Buhari cannot make Nigeria an Islamic country because we are in democracy. It was IBB government that dragged Nigeria into OIC. When Buhari fought corruption, people became careful about their actions. Anyone who says Buhari will Islamise Nigeria is not being fair,” said Mbaka. He added that he was not bothered whether the next President would be a Northerner or Yoruba or Igbo so long as the person fights corruption and means well for the citizens. “If a northerner will rule the country and insecurity will stop, so be it. If a Yoruba man will rule Nigeria in 2015 and we have peace and stop the shedding of innocent blood, so be it. Nigerians are tired of wasting innocent lives,” he said. The end-of-year Adoration mass was attended by some notable politicians from Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra States. www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/top-stories/43495- father-mbaka-says-jonathan-courts-corrupt-officials |

Mbaka should stop dabbling into politics. I hope the Catholic Church sanctions him for this. He can support whoever he wishes but not to campaign in Church for or against anyone. |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by Charlesdonald(m): 10:51am On Jan 02, 2015 |
Abagworo:mbaka didn't campaign for anybody rather he just said the truth |

INEC Final Guber List: No PDP Candidate In Imo, Okorocha/Madumere For APC by 247UREPORTS January 2, 2015 Reports No Comments 2170 views The Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] has released its list of gubernatorial candidates today January 2, 2015. The list was pasted on the walls of the INEC headquarters in Abuja on the evening of today. The list showed that the Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha and his current deputy, Prince Madumere would be flying the party banner for the All Progressive Congress [APC] while Captain Iheanacho will be flying the All Progressive Grand Alliance [APGA] banner. According to the INEC list, the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] does not have a gubernatorial candidate for the 2015 exercise in Imo state. The deputy speaker of the house of representatives, Hon. Ihedioha had been embroiled in a tussle of the results of the PDP gubernatorial primaries with the other contestants – which included the former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim and another stakeholder in the party, Mazi Ararume. The primaries was tagged inconclusive following the pronouncement by the three major players – that they had won the primaries. Ohakim in an interview pointed to a possible external influence as responsible for the troubles with the party in Imo. He implied that the executive administrators in the state may be responsible for the inability of the PDP to present a guber candidate. http://247ureports.com/inec-final-guber-list-no-pdp-candidate-in-imo-okorochamadumere-for-apc/ |

Re: Few Pics From Imo State by Nobody: 2:39pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
Charlesdonald:dude, if this news is true, then he clearly campaigned for Buhari and this is against catholic tradition. Campaigning for any one is not allowed in catholic church, but you can speak any truth about any politician. |
