Mbaka Defies Ban, Mobilises Support For Buhari’s Re-Election

FIERY Enugu Catholic Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has urged
Nigerians to pray hard to overcome what he tagged “impending
unimaginable difficulty” in 2019, urging Nigerians to support President
Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection in 2019.

The call by Rev. Fr.
Mbaka who is also the Founder of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, to back
President Buhari, came after few weeks the Catholic Bishops in the
country barred Catholic priests and religious leaders of the catholic
faith from endorsing any candidate for the forthcoming general
elections.

Mbaka had on Tuesday during his New Year prophetic
message and crossover service stated that the type of difficulty the
country was going to face was such that has not been “witnessed in its
58 years history.

He also urged Nigerians to pray for the country
and its leaders, adding Nigerians should support President Muhammad
Buhari to continue his fight against corruption.

The clergyman
insisted that the Catholic Church supports the fight against corruption
and that was why it created “prayers against bribery and corruption.”

“A President that is fighting corruption needs to be supported,” he said.

It
could be recalled that in a recent statement signed by Most Reverend
Augustine Akabueze, President and Most Reverend Camillus Umoh, Secretary
respectively of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), the
Church declared that no priest or religious should publicly endorse
politicians.
