Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Yekini Nabena has threatened to report Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka, to the Pope and Vatican in Italy for allegedly committing acts capable of causing instability in the country.
A statement issued by the party on Friday in Abuja, said it was unfortunate for a man of God “who is supposed to deploy all known spiritual means of averting crisis to be threatening a democratically elected government for his own personal benefit while pretending to be speaking for the people”.
He referred to Mark 4:35-40, where Jesus Christ calmed the storm when a wild wind came up and the waves was about to crash the boat.
Nabena noted that instead of complaining or blaming the captain of the boat, Jesus prayed and calmed the storm.
“One will wonder whom Father Mbaka is emulating because the Lord Jesus Christ did not threaten to bring down the government during his own time. In fact, Jesus Christ obeyed and honoured constituted authorities. That’s why he paid his tax.
“We are calling on Father Mbaka to concentrate on his spiritual calling and stop speaking like politicians who it is obvious he (Mbaka) has been dining and wining with. If Mbaka has found another political ally, it is better to leave political message for politicians.
“Calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to either resign or be impeached because of the current challenges is ungodly. Father Mbaka should not, however, take his luck too far because there are lot to tell the Vatican and the Pope about his person and his sources of inspiration,” he said.
Nabena further called on other clerics to emulate the likes of Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, and Pastor WF Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Bible Ministry and many others, who will rather fast and pray to avert crisis instead of threatening the government of the day.
