The coast appears to be clearer now for
controversial Reverend Ejike Mbaka of Adoration Ministries Enugu to fulfill his
long-time ambition of becoming the next president of Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN). A source at Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, Nigeria’s seat of power, made
this information available to Biafra Media Group (BMG) yesterday after Mbaka’s
visit to Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari.
Long before Mbaka’s visit to the Villa,
many people had started suspecting the Catholic clergy as beginning to jettison
his calling as a priest and delving dangerously into politics. The people
started suspecting Mbaka based on his recent proclamations and posturing in the
political terrain.
Biafra Media Group learnt that Mbaka went
to the Villa to, among other things, pray for the ailing president and to
solicit for financial support for his CAN presidential bid.
Our source revealed
that the President was happy to receive the Catholic Priest and that he
expressed his willingness to assist the priest in any way possible to clinch
the Christian top position. The President believed that with Mbaka as the CAN
president, the Christians’ body will not oppose his Nigerian “islamization”
agenda as strongly as the current CAN leadership under Ayo Oritsejafor had been
doing.
According to our source, “Mbaka left the
Villa with huge moral and financial support from the President. “As far as
Mbaka’s ambition is concerned, I am sure funding will no longer be a problem
for his ambition of becoming the next CAN President. He is well loaded” said
our source.
It is however instructive to note that Mbaka
turned against former president, Goodluck Jonathan, when he realized that
Jonathan was not responding positively to his overtures for funding. This was
the reason he campaigned seriously against Jonathan’s last reelection bid.
Few weeks ago, Aisha Buhari, wife of the current
Nigerian President, visited him (Mbaka) and assured him that her husband was
ready to do business with him. It was after her visit that Mbaka made a
scathing remark against Biafra independent agitators. This statement shocked a
lot of Biafrans who expected that as a Christian leader, and follower of Jesus
Christ, he should have spoken out against the murder of non-violent Biafran
agitators by Buhari’s government, instead of supporting genocide against his
own people.
However, with the huge amount of money he
received for his ambition from Buhari, last Friday, many Biafrans will now see
Mbaka’s utterances against them as a case of “he who pays the piper dictates
the tune.”
