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.
