Rev. Mbaka Repeats, Says Biafra Agitation is Evil. Blames Some Elites in East
Ejike Mbaka has condemned the recent
agitation and protests for Biafra nation
describing the action as `evil.’
Mbaka made the condemnation in Enugu on
Saturday in a sermon at his weekly Adoration
Ministry.
The cleric urged youths in the South East and
South-South to go back to their business as
the protest could lead to their death.
“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 said.
He lambasted those leaders that were behind
the agitation and protests, saying that they
should use their children for the struggle.
Mbaka commended President Muhammadu
Buhari for appointing ministers from the zone
and assigning 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.
He said that the five states in the zone had
minister each as prescribed by the Nigerian
constitution as well as other key security and
protocol officers that serves under president
and his wife.
The reverend father attributed the recent free
health screening initiative by the Wife of the
president, Mrs Aisha Buhari, in Enugu to her
love for the people of the region.
He blamed the Igbo leaders for not living up to
the expectation of the people in the area,
adding that past governors, National Assembly
members failed woefully 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,” he said.
Mbaka called on the new Minister of Labour
and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, to use his
office to employ youths in the zone, adding that
it would stop what he called another Boko
Haram in the south east if not curtailed.
He praised Buhari’s war against corruption,
saying it had enthroned due process and sanity
in governance.
The cleric, however, urged Nigerians to be
patient with the president as he had good
plans for the country.
