Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, the catholic priest from Enugu, has
reacted to the recent upsurge of the agitation and demonstrations for Baifra State.
The man of God in a sermon
at his weekly Adoration Ministry criticized Biafra supporters, defining them as
‘evil’.
Mbaka advised youths in the
South East and South-South to go back to their business as the protest could
lead to their death.
He said: “Locking
up your shops and disrupting economic activities will not add any naira to your
pocket, whatever grievance you have could be resolved through dialogue.’’
The cleric lambasted those
chieftains that were behind the demonstrations saying that they should use
their children for the fight.
However, Father Mbaka
praised President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing ministers from the zone and
allocating them with good portfolios.
“President Buhari’s action
has proven that the South East has not been marginalized. I would have reacted
if no minister emerged from the zone,’’ he said.
The prophet described the
recent free health screening initiative by the president’s wife Aisha Buhari in
Enugu as love for the people of the region.
Mbaka accused the Igbo
leaders of not living up to the expectation of the people in the area,
continuing that former governors, National Assembly members failed deplorably
in discharging their mandates.

“President Buhari is not
the cause of poor roads, unemployment and other decay infrastructures in the
south east, we should blame our leaders.
“Most of the roads had been
awarded but our leaders squandered the fund, even the university teaching
hospital in Enugu is a no-go-area and our leaders are not concerned about it,”
reverend father said.
Meanwhile, he advised
Nigerians to be patient with the leader of the nation as he had good plans for
the country.
On
the New Year eve the
man of God issued a message“From Goodluck to Badluck,” that became a major
talking point during the election campaign.
Father Mbaka in the past
had predicted failure for the second bid of President Goodluck Jonathan.
