He spoke while delivering a sermon tagged, “From
Good luck to Bad luck,” during the end-of-year mass
Wednesday night at the Adoration Ground, Emene,
Enugu.
Rev. Father Mbaka, Founder of Adoration Ministry,
Enugu said Jonathan has surrounded himself with very
corrupt public officials. As a result, he said, the
President has turned a blind eye to their corrupt
activities while millions of Nigerians suffer daily in
abject poverty and endless insecurity.
He said: “Jonathan has ruled for six years. We need
change. NEPA is not working because of corruption.
The privatization of public companies has not yielded
any fruit because of corruption.
“Jonathan surrounded himself with very corrupt officers
who advise him. Nigerians are sick and tired of wasting
innocent lives without government doing enough to stop
the destruction.”
He said he and millions of Nigerians were disappointed
by the government’s failure to ensure the release of the
Chibok girls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorists
over 200 days ago.
“Up till now, nobody knows the whereabouts of the
innocent Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram and we
say we have a government that cannot guarantee the
welfare, safety and security of the citizens,” he told the
congregation of over 30,000 worshippers.
The cleric said he resisted delivering the sermon which
he said came from the Holy Ghost but that God warned
him to ensure the message was given to the nation not
minding whose ox was gored.
Fr. Mbaka recently anointed Mrs. Patience Jonathan as
the next First Lady in 2015. The First Lady, and the
Deputy Senate President Senator Ike Ekweremadu
worshipped at the Adoration Ministry where the First
Lady admitted that she experienced “a spiritual rebirth.”
Fr. Mbaka that day released some birds that he said
would go and fight for Jonathan.
But on Wednesday night Fr. Mbaka said Jonathan was
going nowhere as far as next year’s election was
concerned, recalling that one of the birds – which he
released during Mrs. Jonathan’s visit has refused to
fly.
“All the other birds I released flew away but the
healthiest of them which is Jonathan’s bird could not
fly. I tried to make it fly but it could not fly,” he recalled
to a hugely excited congregation that cheered him on.
When Jonathan was aspiring to become Nigeria’s
President, Mbaka said he was happy like other
Nigerians but that the bad luck which millions of the
citizens had faced since he came into office was quite
disturbing; hence the masses want a change.
“Nigerians are calling for change. We need a change,”
he repeated. “We don’t want to move from bad luck to
bad luck; Nigerians want to move from bad luck to good
luck,” he said.
Fr. Mbaka criticised other priests who, he alleged,
visited the Presidential Villa and other Government
Houses in the country to hold “Breakfast Prayer” with
the politicians only to collect fat envelopes of money
rather than “tell the politicians the level of hardship the
poor masses are suffering.”
He added: “The men of God only go there to dine and
wine with the leaders for their own welfare without
telling them the truth. But I’m happy that I, Fr. Mbaka,
I’m not that type of priest. If you want money, I dash
you money because the God I serve has blessed me
abundantly.”
Commenting on the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and former Head of State
General Muhammadu Buhari, Fr. Mbaka, said Buhari
cannot Islamise Nigeria as being rumoured in some
circles.
He said he had never met the General but recalled that
he fought corruption seriously as Head of State.
“I don’t know Buhari. I have never sat with him before. I
am not being partisan, but I want total change in
Nigeria.
“Buhari cannot make Nigeria an Islamic country
because we are in democracy. It was IBB government
that dragged Nigeria into OIC. When Buhari fought
corruption, people became careful about their actions.
Anyone who says Buhari will Islamise Nigeria is not
being fair,” said Mbaka.
He added that he was not bothered whether the next
President would be a Northerner or Yoruba or Igbo so
long as the person fights corruption and means well for
the citizens.
“If a northerner will rule the country and insecurity will
stop, so be it. If a Yoruba man will rule Nigeria in 2015
and we have peace and stop the shedding of innocent
blood, so be it. Nigerians are tired of wasting innocent
lives,” he said.
The end-of-year Adoration mass was attended by some
notable politicians from Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra
States.
