REV. MBAKA IN BIG TROUBLE! OHANEZE ATTACKS CATHOLIC PRIEST, WARNS HIM TO STEER CLEAR OF POLITICS, OR ELSE....

The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural
organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has on Tuesday warned Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, to stop inciting Ndigbo against President Goodluck Jonathan.

The National President of Ohanaeze Youth Council,
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, who gave the warning in
an interview with Punch in Umuahia, said the organisation felt highly disturbed by Mbaka's recent comments on the President, wondering why a priest should be dabbling into politics.
Isiguzoro, who was reacting to the recent call by Mbaka
that Jonathan should step down for Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.) of the All Progressives Congress at the
February 14 Presidential election, warned the priest to
retract the controversial remarks.
He also demanded an unconditional apology from Mbaka to
President Jonathan, warning the priest to steer clear of
politics.
Isiguzoro said, "A line separates religion from politics. Let
Mbaka concentrate on his priestly calling and stop meddling
in politics."

The Ohanaeze helmsman said Mbaka's utterances were
serious embarrassments to Ndigbo. He therefore warned him to stop making himself a willing tool for those who want to pull down the President.
Accusing Mbaka of acting a script for the opposition, he
argued that the cleric's remarks were "filled with
contradictions and half truths ."
Isiguzoro further argued, "By castigating the President,
Mbaka has compromised in the oath he took as a priest."
He consequently warned him to "stop his predictions that
never come true."
He said, "In 2003, Mbaka predicted that ex-Governor
Chimaroke Nnamani would not return as governor in Enugu
State, but he ( Nnamani) returned; he also predicted in 2014
that Ikedi Ohakim would return as Imo State governor, but
he failed the primary."
Ohanaeze, therefore, asked the priest to settle whatever
grievances he had with Jonathan through the appropriate
channels and refrain from vituperations aimed at disparaging the office of the President.
Isiguzoro restated the unwavering support of Igbo youths to
Jonathan's re-election bid, and urged members of the
public to disregard Mbaka's comments, which he said, had
since been condemned by the Catholic Church.
