Fiery Enugu Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has
apologized and prayed for the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter
Obi.
Mbaka made the apology after declaring that Peter Obi can
never be Nigeria’s President.
He had during his latest ministration at the Adoration
ground said that unless God ceases to exist, Obi would never smell the seat of
the President adding that it was better to have an old man as President than a
‘stingy young man’.
The comment by the Catholic priest had stirred diverse
reactions from Nigerians who accused him of hating Peter Obi because he refused
to donate to his church.
However, the cleric in a statement he personally signed said
he had no intention to malign His Excellency, Peter Obi’s image but to pray for
him
He, therefore, apologized to Peter Obi and his supporters
and prayed that God will bless them.
”I am grateful to God for His unquantifiable and favourable
blessings, miracles, love and life for the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria.
I assure the people of God and Nigerians that I am praying
for Good Governance and Good Leadership in this country and that God will give
us leaders after His own Heart.
”As it stands right now, it is obvious that Nigeria is
passing through indescribable insecurity challenges, an inestimable
unemployment crisis, massive corruption, heinous crimes, and unbearable
suffering engendered by bad leadership. I bear with my fellow countrymen and
women in whatever we are passing through in this trying time. I call on the
adorers and the entire people of God to join hands in praying that God will
deliver us from the plans of the devil and its wicked agents.
”I am a servant of God and my intention is not to malign His
Excellency, Peter Obi’s image, but to pray for him. May God’s will be done in
his life. I pray to God whom I serve to give our beloved people good and
excellent leaders who will take care of them and lead them to the promised
land. Anyone who God wishes to make our Leader is my choice. In this vein, I
give my blessings to His Excellency Peter Obi and his supporters, I also give
my blessings to the other candidates and their supporters whose intention is
also to give Nigeria good leaders. In any way, the supporters of Mr Peter Obi
feel offended by my utterances or however I was misunderstood by them, I ask
for their understanding and forgiveness.
”As a servant of the Most High God, I pray that it shall be
well with my people. I am an ardent supporter of Good Governance, Justice,
Equity, Love, and Godliness. At this time our people are passing through the
valleys of shadows of death (Ps23.4), I pray for peace, love, and anything that
will bring blessings and favour to our people and to our suffering teaming
youths. I will always stand with you in all your ordeals. God will take care of
you and bless you miraculously for me.
”My intention is not to fight or malign Mr. Peter Obi. He is
my friend and remains my friend and brother I love him and I wish him Success
May God bless him and his good supporters. God’s will be done in his political
endeavours (Mk.14:36)
”The followers of Peter Obi are the same youths I am praying
for, sacrificing for, fighting for, speaking for, and working for their
integral well-being. What the youths are passing through and their conditions
give me sleepless nights. It is for this reason that I yearn for good
governance and worthy leaders that will take care of them. We are passing
through indescribable, unbearable, and undeserved hardship in this country. I
pray for Divine intervention.
”I am not in any political party but I support good people
and good governance. Any good person that God can give us is my chosen
candidate. I am a servant of God; For the sake of peace, I ask for forgiveness
in any way I am misunderstood. And to Peter Obi himself, I ask God to bless him
and manifest his will in his life. When God says Yes, who can say No? And when
God says No, who can say Yes? I bless Peter Obi and pray for him. I bless my
dear fellow Adores and pray for them. I bless the people of God everywhere and
I pray that it shall be well with you all.
”For the sake of those who were gruesomely killed on
Pentecost Sunday at St St. Francis Xavier parish Owo, Ondo State who are being
buried today, there will be no all-night Adoration program today,17th June
2022. We join the entire Catholic Church to mourn their demise. May their souls
and the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in Perfect
Peace. Amen.”
