A Catholic Priest in Enugu, Ejike Mbaka, has condemned the recent agitation and protests for Biafra nation describing the action as ‘evil’.
Mr. Mbaka made the condemnation in Enugu on Saturday in a sermon at his weekly Adoration Ministry.
The cleric urged youths in the South-East and South-South to go back to their business as the protest could lead to their death.
“Locking up your shops and disrupting economic activities will not add any naira to your pocket, whatever grievance you have could be resolved through dialogue,’’ the cleric said.
He lambasted those leaders that were behind the agitation and protests, saying they should use their children for the struggle.
Mr. Mbaka commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing ministers from the zone and assigning them with good portfolios.
“President Buhari’s action has proven that the South East has not been marginalized. I would have reacted if no minister emerged from the zone,’’ he said.
He said the five states in the zone had minister each as prescribed by the Nigerian constitution as well as other key security and protocol officers serving under the president and his wife.
The reverend father attributed the recent free health screening initiative by the wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari, in Enugu to her love for the people of the region.
He blamed Igbo leaders for not living up to the expectation of the people of the area, adding that past governors, National Assembly members failed woefully in discharging their mandates.
“President Buhari is not the cause of poor roads, unemployment and other decay infrastructures in the south east, we should blame our leaders.
“Most of the roads had been awarded but our leaders squandered the fund, even the university teaching hospital in Enugu is a no-go area and our leaders are not concerned about it,” he said.
Mr. Mbaka called on the new Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, to use his office to employ youths in the zone, adding that it would stop what he called another Boko Haram in the south east if not curtailed.
He praised Buhari’s war against corruption, saying it had enthroned due process and sanity in governance.
The cleric, however, urged Nigerians to be patient with the president as he had good plans for the country.

Ibaka talku talku

Which one do we believe again

No way for their crocodile agitation......

The man of God is correct

Biafra is a meal ticket to some people suffering from "defeat hangover" even ojukwu used his people for the same reason and later term them as miscreants

Now you are blaming south east governors and leaders but just months ago, you were blaming Jonathan for the problems in Nigeria calling him bad luck and all. I now believe what they said that you were bitter at Jonathan because you lost access to him. smh. God will surely vindicate Jonathan.

If only they will listen and use their head.

This is a pity, IMO, because, whichever way one slices or dices this latest pronouncement by Father Mbaka on the subject, it is a big blow to the Biafra movement - at least to the psyche of those at the helms and center of it. Hmm.
