The Founder of Adoration Ministry Enugu State, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari will suffer if he doesn’t show that he is not part of those causing insecurity in the country.
Mbaka made this known during Sunday service monitored by IGBERE TV correspondent.
He said despite that former Chief Of Staff, Abba Kyari was flown abroad for treatment, he later died.
According to him, “”Start preparing where to run to, trouble is coming, Nigeria has collapsed and Abuja will no longer be a safe zone for politicians”.
“President Buhari has not shown that he is not part of the insecurity ravaging the security, you have to show that you are not part of the insecurity.”

JESUSEGUN ALAGBE writes about the trend by the government in stifling criticisms through attacks on dissenting voices
What happens when the government stifles criticisms and freedom of expression? Oftentimes, bad decisions are made and tragic situations occur – sometimes on a breathtaking scale that can leave everyone wondering: how did this happen?
Naturally, governments hate to be criticised, and the Nigerian government is not an exception. Sometimes, criticism-hating governments come up with terms like “hate speech” to stifle commentary and to avoid being held accountable.
Also, sometimes when governments want to censure criticisms, they attack the messengers, classifying their messages as anti-patriotic, just to justify repressing legitimate difference of opinion.

The Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, has called on the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, and a Catholic Priest in Enugu State, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, to stay away from politics.
He said this on Friday in Abuja at an interactive meeting with journalists as part of activities marking this year’s World Communications Day celebration.
Kaigama reminded the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry in Enugu of the Canon Law 285.
The law prohibits the clergy from engaging in anything that is strange and unbecoming to the Catholic clerical state.
Kaigama spoke to the media on Friday at a conference on the 2021 World Communications Day celebration.
The bishop said Mbaka, being a catholic priest took an oath during his ordination which reads: ‘I promise obedience and respect to you my local ordinary and your successors’.
Kaigama noted that the oath Mbaka publicly took, like other priests, remains valid till he dies.
The bishop insisted Mbaka must abide by what the Catholic church teaches and stands for.
