Enugu Catholic Diocese Condemns Rev. Mbaka Over Remarks on Peter Obi

The Catholic Diocese of Enugu has condemned the comments made by Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka concerning the presidential ambition of Peter Obi.

Mbaka, the Director of Catholic Adoration Ministry Chaplaincy Enugu, had on Wednesday described Labour Party presidential candidate, Obi as a ‘stingy man’, declaring that unless God ceases to exist, Obi would never smell the seat of the president.

According to him, it was better to have an old man as president than a ‘stingy young man.’

The Diocese, however, described the vituperation of Fr Mbaka against Obi as unbecoming and divisive.

The church said this was a clear violation of the provisions of canon 287 which forbids priests from engaging in partisan politics.
