Fr Mbaka under fire for calling Peter Obi stingy man

The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has stated in his crusade that a stingy man cannot be the president of Nigeria.

He mentioned this in a viral video, which was from a Wednesday crusade at his ministry in Enugu.

In this video, he said, “A stingy man cannot be our president. We are already hungry. We need a generous person. Nigerians are hungry. Are we not hungry?” he said

Meanwhile, there have been calls by some Nigerians to the Catholic Church authority to call the cleric to order.

Nigerians on social media have been reacting to the development:
@PastorBlessid,” Even Fr Mbaka couldn’t push Peter Obi to do what he doesn’t want to do even when he told him God was involved and related it with winning election. Peter stood on his principles. SHI SHI we won’t give. His tenacity and articulated savings is 100%.Competence!”

@mrstanlei, ”I was born and brought up in the Roman Catholic church, I have so much respect for Rev Fr Mbaka, But as it stands right now, even Pope Francis can’t tell me not to vote for Peter obi talkless of Fr. Mbaka, the same man that told us to vote for Buhari.”

@uggoprince, ”Truly this election is revealing.From pastors, priests, politicians, activists, everyone. Imagine Father Mbaka don’t want you to vote Peter Obi because he wasn’t successful in manipulating him into giving to his ministry with the name of God.God is alive.”
