Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All
Progressives Congress APC, Yekini Nabena, has cautioned the Spiritual Director
of Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, against making statements that
could cause instability in the country, threatening to expose him to the Pope.
Mbaka had called on the National Assembly to impeach
President Muhammadu Buhari if he fails to resign over increased insecurity in
the country.
Reacting to Mbaka’s statement Friday in Abuja, Nabena said
it was unfortunate for a man of God “who is supposed to deploy all known
spiritual means of averting crisis but rather threatening a democratically
elected government for his own personal benefits while pretending to be
speaking for the people.”
While making reference to the book of Mark 4: 35-40 where
Jesus Christ calmed the storm when a wild storm came up and the waves crashed
over the boat, Nabena said Jesus did not blame anyone but prayed and calmed the
storm.
“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 said.
The APC chieftain also called on 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”.
