Fiery Enugu Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka resumed his Adoration Ministry yesterday, Sunday, after serving a 30-day ban.
However, despite a directive from the head of his Diocese,
Bishop Calistus Onaga, the priest still delved into political matters.
This is coming amid reports that officials of the Department
of State Services, DSS, were at the Adoration Ministry to invite the Clergyman
to Abuja.
Mbaka made the claim while addressing his followers at the
Adoration Ground in Enugu on Sunday.
It could be recalled that as part of conditions for him to
re-open the Adoration, the Ministry was changed to a Chaplaincy, with a caution
that he should stay away from politics.
Mbaka, however, mounted the pulpit and again lambasted the
present government.
“Who is beaten and told not to cry”, he thundered in
vernacular.
“The body and blood of Jesus is the solution to what you are
passing through, it is the supernatural solution to what Nigeria is passing
through; in a time like this when the youths are passing through the corridors
of unemployment, when the youths are crying, when there is banditry, when a lot
of terrorist activities are going on, we need the power of the Holy Ghost for
holistic solution.
“What are we talking about? In a time like this when the
whole country men cannot find a solution in the government, people will find a
solution in the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
“Did they tell me to shut up and start saying that the
country is good? The country is not good. God will fight for this country. The
country is not well. Woe betide a prophet of God who will be silent in time of
evil, that person is not a prophet, no matter the threat, no matter the attack,
a prophet is a prophet at all times,” he declared.
Apparently condemning the role of his Bishop, he said a
retired Bishop Eneja of the Diocese “will not be happy wherever he is hearing
that Fr. Mbaka is dumb in a time like this.
“What will be, will be, it is a matter of time. Adoration
Ministry is a prophetic ministry.
“Was it not on Wednesday that I came back to my house after
30 days? I came back on Wednesday, I celebrated mass with some of the leaders
of the ministry. By Thursday morning, I got a call from where I was that DSS
people from Abuja came to the gate, and they came with a letter of invitation
to Abuja, over what? Listen.
“What I cannot understand is that the mother Church in
Nigeria should be cowed down to a level of Lilliputian, all these are attempts
to dumbfound the priest of God, all the priests could be dumbfounded but no
prophet could be dumbfounded. It is our duty to protect the sheep in this time
when there is killing everywhere, bloodshed everywhere, hunger everywhere.
“Anybody by any means who will stop people from worshipping
here will regret it. We must discern when God is working and when the devil is
working. Let those who are inviting me to Abuja and elsewhere…they don’t understand
history, this is the same Fr. Mbaka that spoke against Abacha and co, this is
the same Fr. Mbaka under Eneja, who went to Minna and spoke to Babangida face
to face about what was wrong with his government. This is the same Fr. Mbaka
under Bishop Gbuji, who went to Obasanjo in Aso Rock, face to face and spoke to
him. I perform under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, I don’t do anything to
get money but save souls. Under Bishop Gbuji I ministered to the late Yar’Adua.
“If they are attacking me here and there, even from those
who should save me, no wahala, I heard the security man did not receive the
letter, he could have received it, he told them that Fr. is coming on Sunday to
celebrate mass, that they can come to give him the letter. If they know that
the anointing flowing from this ground is too hot for them, let them change.
“If you are the one sent to cow Fr. Mbaka down, it is a
stupid assignment because you cannot achieve it. Those who are dreaming that
Fr. Mbaka will soon be quiet, you are wasting your time…”
