A cleric has chided fiery Catholic priest, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka over his partisan posture that led to the closure of his Adoration Ministry in Enugu.
The parish priest of St Paul’s Catholic Church, Ebute Metta, Very Rev Fr Micheal-Christian Okonkwo, disclosed that Mbaka should borrow a leaf from a former Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, in the area of political commentaries.
Okonkwo told
Sunday PUNCH that there was a clear distinction between speaking truth to power and delving into partisan politics, which he claimed Mbaka was doing.
“For instance, during the times of fiery priests like Okogie, he was acting as a moral voice, always speaking to the conscience of the government. We cannot be partisan. Fr Mbaka during his utterances has moved from being a moral voice to a partisan person and that is not what the Church stands for,” he said.
