"We're Disappointed", Catholic Church Moves to Punish Mbaka

The last has not been heard about the shameful drama between the ex Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi and the  Spiritual director of Adoration Ministries, Enugu, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka.

Igbere Tv reports that the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria has restated that Catholic Priests under the canon law of the Church are barred from active involvement in Partisan Politics.

This reaction is coming shortly after the altercation between Father Mbaka and Peter Obi.

CSN’s Secretary General, Rev. Fr. Ralph Madu, who spoke to journalists at a press conference, in Abuja on Thursday said that the Catholic church was disappointed with the altercation and had asked appropriate authorities to take necessary action.

“While we are sure that Enugu Catholic Diocese, where Fr. Mbaka is incardinated, has or is taking appropriate measures on the reported incident, we wish to categorically reiterate that no Catholic priest is permitted to be involved in partisan politics.

All liturgical ceremonies must never be used as an occasion for campaigns ahead of 2019 political activities. Catholic church remains apolitical and would never support or subscribe to any political party.

Our concern is for peaceful election process, seen to be free, fair, credible and just, and a democratic governance that would herald peace, justice, equity, development and religious freedom for the common good.”

Mbaka has faced criticisms online over his ’embarrassment’ of Obi during the church’s recent Bazaar.
