Again Fr Mbaka says, we are not yet experiencing change

Enugu State Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has again described President Muhammadu Buhari as a God sent, but said Nigerians are not yet experiencing change under his governance.

According to him, “the government we are experiencing is not yet a ‘Buharinised’ government. He accused some of the people in President Buhari’s government as crocodiles, who are sabotaging his change efforts.

The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, stated this interacting with newsmen during the graduation of Niger Delta youths, who trained at Innoson Plastic Factory under Federal Government’s Amnesty Programme.

“I am talking about change from corruption to moral probity, a time Nigeria will become a country that is worthy of emulation, that internationally when you mention Nigeria, Nigerians shall begin to smile. I am talking about change that is beyond embezzlement of funds meant for the development of the people and country.

“The poor masses are dying and they are enriching themselves wickedly calling themselves politicians, so, such team of people should be changed and if some of them are still remaining and they want to come back, I still pray that the broom of God will sweep them out because Nigeria must move forward. These people are wicked, they are not Nigerians per say, I don’t know where their blood came from because they are not representing us; they are representing themselves and the devil that is using them.

“The government we are experiencing is not yet a Buharinised government. Many people who are in different strategic positions are still the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) people and Buhari may not even know and even some people who are working around him are working to pull him down.

“Buhari means well, Buhari is a good man, Buhari is God-sent for this country but, I am telling you that there are crocodiles in the fish pond. Buhari may not know that he is feeding not the fish in the fishpond but crocodiles that are even feeding on the fishes.”

He cautioned that it was still too early to judge the present administration and urged Nigerians to still give the government sometime to fulfil its promised change.

“It is too early to judge a man who has just entered few months ago, remember, even the budget is being attacked, padding or no padding and some people want to baptise criminal fraudulent machination with the name padding as a non-criminal offence. So, when you steal money that is in billions, it is padding and that one is a no offence? But catch a poor man that steals a phone of N20, 000, he will be burnt alive.”

Mbaka therefore called on Nigerians to pray for the success of the government and to counter the activities of those he described as plotting to tear the country apart and take over power.

Mbaka was once quoted as decrying the state of hunger under President Buhari, asking that he should seek advice from people like him on how to turn the country around. He later refuted blaming Buhari for the hunger in the land, saying it was the past administration instead that caused Nigeria’s present predicament. The situation has since made many Nigerians to now view him as a controversial priest.
