Fiery catholic priest and spiritual director, Adoration Ministry Enugu
Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has berated Imo state governor,

Owerri Catholic Archdiocese even after the church voted massively for him
in the 2011 governorship election.
It would be recalled that the catholic community controls about 60% voting
population in the state which favoured Okorocha who contested under the
platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to clinch the
governorship seat following the widespread allegation that the immediate
past governor, Ikedi Ohakim, who was also seeking re-election, assaulted
one of their priests in the build- up to theelection.

Mbaka who made this shocking revelation at his Christ the King adoration
ground, Enugu, attended by ex governor Ohakim and his supporters,
described Okorocha as a disappointment to God and
humanity, having betrayed the confidence and trust reposed in him by Imo
electorate.

While regretting what he described as an orchestrated propaganda which
scuttled Ohakim’s re- election bid in 2011, the popular cleric attributed
the development to selfishness and insensitivity on the part of his former
governor’s aides whom he accused of jeopardizing his investigation ahead
of the elections by not granting him access to interact and establish the
veracity of the damaging allegation that pitched him against the entire
catholic community.

“It is regrettable that at last the truth has manifested though not at the
right time. Ohakim didn’t beat any priest. It was an orchestrated
falsehood and blackmail which unfortunately were aimed at scuttling his re
-election bid. When we wanted to reach the governor so as to
get his own version, those that worked with him made it impossible. We
waited patiently for him but he never showed up. It was then we composed
our music ” Onye ahu kuru father Ihe, ogaghi achi anyi zoo” meaning “The
person that beat our priest will not rule us again” which made Catholics
in Imo to deny him their votes.

“However, it is good to tell the truth even if it is coming late. Let the
truth be told today though not necessarily to prepare him for another
governorship project but for the whole world to know that he
never did anything like that. Even if Ohakim dies tomorrow, the world will
now know that he didn’t beat any priest. I am saying this because after
listening to Ohakim’s version and that of the priest
involved in the controversy and discovered that the allegation was false,
it then behooved on me as a servant of God to make my findings public and
declare the former governor innocent” Mbaka said.
Speaking on Okorocha’s administration, Mbaka regretted that after
benefitting from the falsehood that ousted the former governor from
office, the rescue mission governor has to the chagrin of everybody
decided to reward the Catholic Archdiocese of Owerri and Imo people with
N50M dud cheque and bad governance respectively.

“After the blackmail and falsehood that Ohakim assaulted a catholic
priest, the man that benefitted from the whole thing is now dealing with
Imo people as well as destroying the state. Even our Archbishop in Owerri
is now crying. Could you imagine that our cathedral in Owerri is almost
collapsing and what this man called Rochas Okorocha could do was to give
the church a N50 million dud cheque? As I am speaking now, Okorocha is
dealing with Imo people. In fact, that man
is not a blessing to Ndi Imo and I wonder the kingdom where he came from”
he said.

Apparently predicting a better fortune for Ohakim who is currently
contesting the PDP governorship ticket ahead 2015 polls, Mbaka concluded
by warning the former whom he admitted has had his own dose of
shortcomings as a human being to always seek the face of God and
consistently do the right thing for the glory of his Creator.

He further lamented the growing scenario where Nigerian politicians turn
against God whenever they found themselves in power only to remember Him
the time they have exited office.
