Heavens Won’t Fall If Mbaka Rejects Transfer – Rev Father Osu. by PhockPhockMan(op): 7:46pm On Jan 17, 2016

The Director of Communications, Catholic Archdioceses of Lagos, Monsignor Gabriel Osu, has said that heavens will not fall if the wave-making Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, was transferred out of his station, Christ the King Parish, GRA, Enugu State; as being speculated in the media.

Father Mbaka had triggered off controversy, prior to the 2015 presidential election, when he prophesied that former president Goodluck Jonathan would be defeated at the poll by the incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari. Again in his New Year message, the fiery priest steered the hornets’ nest once more when he predicted that some people had hatched plans to kill the president.

On the heels of the latest upheaval that trailed Mbak’s revelation, the media immediately began speculating that the Catholic Diocese of Enugu planned to quietly transfer Mbaka along with other priests, to make it look like a normal transfer.

According to media reports, the Diocese is, however, wary of the possible reaction of Mbaka’s followers and the Adoration faithful, who account for over 80 per cent of the Catholic population in Enugu Diocese. Fielding questions from our correspondent in Lagos midweek on this, Osu said: “If eventually Maka is transferred and he decides to reject the posting heavens will not fall.”

Osu, however, descried Father Mbaka as a humble and law abiding priest. He dismissed any conjecture that Father Maka may quit if he eventually transferred. “I don’t think he would refuse if he is eventually transferred. A Catholic Priest dose not resist transfer; a Catholic Priest can be transferred any time, any day and anywhere.

“And once you are transferred you don’t refuse. You don’t look at anything. As long you are an ordained priest you don’t resist transfer. That is the general principle.

That is the position of the church any time and any day,” Osu explained. He explained that the Bishop assigns and transfers priests according to area of need. “So, your Bishop transfers you, you can’t say you can’t go. Who are you o say you can’t go? Osu stressed. Meanwhile, Ohaneze Ndigbo has frowned at Father Mbaka’s recent prophesy that the life of President Buhari is in danger.

Chairman of the seven Igbo speaking states, Elder Chris Eluemunor, stressed that Father Mbaka had become a distraction in the Nigerian polity. According to Eluemunor, Buhari, as Command in- Chief, was in safe hands; “because the president is doing a good job by fighting corruption and the Ohaneze fully supports his anti-corruption fight.”

“Fr. Mbaka should really shut up and preach the word of God which he was ordained to do than raising unnecessary alarm and creating panic in the country. Even if a revelation was given to him, he should keep it to himself and pray over it. Fr Mbaka’s statement is a distraction to what the President is doing and he should stop the kind of alarm he is raising in the country,” he said.
