Pained by attack on President Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress has threatened to expose Rev. Fr. Ejike Mabaka’s secrets to the Vatican and the Pope.
Mbaka, a Catholic priest and the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, had in a viral video described Buhari as a failure and asked him to either resign or be impeached.
But in a statement on Friday, the APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, frowned at Mabaka’s audacity and said that his comments could cause instability in the country.
Nabena regretted that the cleric, who according to him, is supposed to deploy all known spiritual means of averting crisis, “is rather threatening a democratically elected government for his own personal benefits while pretending to be speaking for the people.”
The statement read in part, “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 went further to call on Mbaka and 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”.
