Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, who supported
President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2015 presidential elections, has
criticized the Nigerian president over the level of hardship facing the
country.
Father Mbaka said during his sermon on July 23 2016, that:
“As the president is fighting corruption,
some of us are praying that he should also fight hunger. Yesterday, some people
said that Fr. Mbaka is preaching against (president Buhari). The issue is that
Mbaka is speaking as the Spirit prompts him. My job is to tell our leaders the
truth.
“The landlords are crying, tenants are
lamenting. Sellers are crying, buyers are lamenting. There is hunger on the
streets.
Many students are being rusticated out of the schools because they
can’t pay for school fees as the school fees are being hiked. Proprietors are
distressed. Many companies are winding up. The economy is hard. Nigeria is
being attacked ferociously.
“The president should look around him and
know people who are advising him and those who are telling him that things are
going well. The president should know that there is trouble and if things
continue like this, in the next election nobody will vote for him.
“If the President would have somebody like me
and I cannot be talking to him, then there is a problem somewhere. Somebody who
can advise you without asking for anything and he is representing the poor
masses in the country; he won’t tell you lies.
He will praise you when you are
doing well and when you are not doing well he will look at your face and tell
you.
“People are smelling of suffering. To feed is
now a problem and a hungry man is an angry man. Hunger and anger will lead to
danger.”
“It is a pity that the vice president Yemi
Osinbajo called (Niger Delta) Avengers saboteurs.
Go to Niger Delta today. The
place where the oil that has been sustaining this country has been coming out
from: No good water, no farmland, no road, no industry. But I don’t blame it on
Buhari because their brother just stepped down few months ago.
What did
Jonathan did for them?”
