Why Father Mbaka Is Fighting Jonathan’

Image
…the APC Connection Fresh facts emerged yesterday on why the fiery Catholic priest and founder of the highly regarded Enugu-based Adoration Ministries, Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, last week warned the electorate not to vote for the candidate of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), President Goodluck Jonathan, in the forthcoming February 14, 2015 presidential election.

The Jega’s PVC lopsided distribution plot exposed

Image
With few weeks to the Presidential election, the lopsided dodgy policy of INEC PVC distribution, is fast becoming a source for worry. Recall the highly controversial lopsided Polling units allocation where over 21, 000 units were allocated in the north (even when INEC uncovered over 10 million ghost and underage voters in the same north) and little above 8, 000 units were given to the south. That plot has been killed though. It now appears INEC boss, Attahiru Jega did not relent as he is now implementing his Plan B since Plan A failed. This Plan B is Permanent Voters Card (PVC) collection. A lot of southern voters (Goodluck Jonathan’s main political base) are yet to receive their PVC due to Jega’s evil plans to rig the election in favour of APC. This investigation has it that PVCs are in the hands of the northerners more than southerners.

Fr Ejike Mbaka where he described President Jonathan’s administration as one that has been plagued with bad luck and poor performance. The CBCN President, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigam, in an interview with ThisDay clari…fied that Fr Mbaka’s remarks were not a representation of the position of the Catholic Church in Nigeria, stressing that Fr Mbaka merely numbers among the 30 million Catholic faithfuls in Nigeria. He added that the position of the Catholic Church on any matter of national importance can only be communicated through the CBCN.

Every country we go, they are filled with Nigerians, why? It is unfortunate. But I believe if you are ready to take the risk, then you must be ready to dance to the music.Now to the question of helping with infrastructure and other things; Nigeria High Commission doesn’t have the kind of money to build prisons.
