Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, has threatened to expose the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, if he does not stop making statements that could cause instability in the country.
Mbaka had called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign or be impeached by the National Assembly for failing to take action on the worsening insecurity across the country.
Reacting to Mbaka’s statement on Friday in Abuja, Nabena said the cleric was not Christlike, and should deploy all known spiritual means of averting crisis rather than threatening a democratically elected government for his own personal benefits.
Citing the book of Mark 4: 35-40 where Jesus Christ calmed the storm, 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”.
