APC SouthEast Speaks Against Rev Fr Mbaka Transfer To New Parish

  

The All Progressive Congress APC on Sunday condemn the transfer of Rev Father Mbaka from the his parish to a new one in Enugu,Mbaka founded the Adoration Ministry and has being at the Christ The King parish in  Enugu for over 20 years.His new posting will now see him as an assistant priest at the Our Ladys Parish.

The APC South East caucus spokesman Osita Okechukwu in a statement made available to Journalist  in Enugu said “it was wrong to punish the fearless priest for his prophecies which has proved to be from God”.he alleged that his transfer was engineered by outside forces.

He said, “Whereas we accept that the transfer of priests is a routine exercise of the great Catholic Church, however we do not wholly accept a situation where the church allows external forces to influence transfer as the Mbaka’s case suggests.

“Otherwise, future liberation clergy who speak truth to power will be hamstrung to the detriment of the society.

“Our major concern is the security implications and the fate of his flocks who are mostly the downtrodden who may find it difficult to go to Emene for salvation and healing.

“We frown at anything which will put Fr. Mbaka in harms way or deny his flocks healing.”

“As a party we have watched with concern and trepidation the criticism, the attack, assault and unpleasant comments hurled against Fr. Mbaka since he providentially prophesied that President Buhari would win the 2015 elections.

“Even the Church did not spare him – he was called unprintable names, yet his prophecy came true.

“We are happy that Fr. Mbaka was vindicated.

“It must be pointed out that accusing fingers were pointed at the direction of some anti-Buhari elements like Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a group that didn’t want to hear the name of Buhari – even though Ohanaeze denied the allegation, doubts still persists.

“For we are still at a loss why a senior priest will be degraded to an assistant parish priest.

“We repeat that we are in solidarity with Fr. Mbaka and our major concern is the security of Fr. Mbaka and the suffering of his flocks mostly the poor who need his healing powers.

“We had thought that His Lordship Bishop Calistus Onaga could have retained him at the Adoration Ground, as the Bishop Emeritus Gbuji did because of security of his life and easy access by his flocks,” the APC chieftain added.
