The Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria has reiterated that Catholic Priests under the canon law of the Church are barred from active involvement in Partisan Politics.

This reaction is coming shortly after an altercation between controversial catholic Priest, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, Spiritual director of Adoration Ministries, Enugu and Ex-governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi.

CSN’s Secretary General, Rev. Fr. Ralph Madu, who spoke to journalists at a press conference, in Abuja on Thursday said that the Catholic church was disappointed with the altercation and had asked appropriate authorities to take necessary action.

“While we are sure that Enugu Catholic Diocese, where Fr. Mbaka is incardinated, has or is taking appropriate measures on the reported incident, we wish to categorically reiterate that no Catholic priest is permitted to be involved in partisan politics.

All liturgical ceremonies must never be used as an occasion for campaigns ahead of 2019 political activities. Catholic church remains apolitical and would never support or subscribe to any political party.

Our concern is for peaceful election process, seen to be free, fair, credible and just, and a democratic governance that would herald peace, justice, equity, development and religious freedom for the common good.”

Mbaka has faced criticisms online over his 'embarrassment' of Obi during the church's recent Bazaar.

This is not enough

Nigeria doesn't own catholic. Only those white geldings have the right to ban or unban him.

Said the same thing last election, they posted him to another village he come dey cry.

Maybe when they post him to Sambisa diocese him mouth go finally close.

This is not enough

Why? He should be laicized? You think Catholic is a privately owned church where the overseer can do whatever pleases him to the pastors?

Fake news from wadata plaza

Even if he's excommunicated, He controls a multitude of people

So he has nothing to loose

....

Day don break

We Catholics have already disowned him.

Peter Obi's vice presidency should be an atonement for the sins Mbaka committed against humanity by endorsing an affliction in 2015.

God will continue to vindicate us from stomach-serving clergy men

.

I don't have any problem with Fr Mbaka except the fact that he's meddling with politics, he's just too biased. He should just face his spreading of gospel and leave politics out of it.

Here in the Southwest, we don't really know him, he's much revered in the East.


Check my siggy.

K

E shud jus resign and join Osibanjo in politics

They r just pushing this man to go and start his own ministry

good move

Mbaka why

A step in the right direction.

LET HIM FOLLOW THE RULE OF HIS ENGAGEMENT.

Fake pastor

Good! The earlier the better.Mbaka have taken the Catholic church to utter disrepute by openly fraternizing with corrupt politicians soliciting for filthy lucre.

He will rather pull out than obey

Honestly, I used to hold this man in high esteem but he hasn't lived up to expectation

Nice one


Mbaka is a scam just after money
