The APC southeast has picked on the Catholic Church for allowing anti-Buhari sentiment to still be guiding its decision in transferring pro-Buhari Catholic faith healer Father Ejike Mbaka from his Christ the King Adoration Parish to Our Lady Parish at Emene in Enugu.

About 1000 papists were affected in the routine transfer, though.

“As a party, we have watched with concern and trepidation the criticism, the attack, assault and unpleasant comments hurled against Fr. Mbaka since he providentially prophesied that President Buhari would win the 2015 elections,” said south eastern APC caucus spokesman Osita Okechukwu on Tuesday.

“Even the church did not spare him; he was called unprintable names, yet his prophecy came true. We are happy that Fr Mbaka was vindicated.”

Okechukwu, who said certain anti-Buhari elements, including the Ohaneze Ndigbo, could have been behind Mbaka’s ordeal, lamented how such move can gag men of God who dare to speak the truth.

“Even though Ohanaeze denied the allegation, doubts still persists. For we are still at a loss why a senior priest will be degraded to an assistant parish priest,” he said.

The group also said His Lordship Bishop Calistus Onaga could have retained Mbaka—a clairvoyant Catholic priest— at the Adoration Ground, as the Bishop Emeritus Gbuji did because of security of his life and easy access by his flocks.

Mbaka himself has said the move will actually make him suffer. “I’m going to suffer because I have no place to put my head. I am going to suffer because I have no place to keep the Adoration ministry’s assets,” he said.

But he won’t be alone in the suffering. “Our major concern is the security implications and the fate of his flocks who are mostly the down trodden who may find it difficult to go to Emene for salvation and healing,” the APC caucus said.  “We frown at anything which will put Fr. Mbaka in harm’s way or deny his flocks healing.”

Nigerians are divided in their takes about the Father who has been having dalliance with President Muhammadu Buhari, a Moslem, before and after the 2015 presidential election.

Whlie some call him a partisan Catholic priest, his fans believe he is just delivering divine messages.
