Why Father Mbaka Apologized For Roles Of Nigerian Pastors In 2023 Elections
“We turned the churches into campaign centres”
Father Ejike Mbaka, the popular catholic priest has apologised for the roles played by pastors in the 2023 elections.
The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Adoration declared in an emerging video that “God, forgive us, forgive the Church, we have gotten it wrong this time….
“I apologise on behalf of the whole men of God, the whole pastors, the whole priests and the whole bishops. I’m not worthy to apologise for Bishops, but I’m apologising.”
The Cleric in the video of a service that was reportedly held on Wednesday, March 29, 2023 further stated that “Let the mercy of God descend because what we did within the political moment….a lot of indescribable political brouhaha and political jingoisms and atrocities (were committed).
“We manifested and buried the power of sacrament beneath political forces, political hawks and vultures; they want to vulturise the Church.
“We turned the churches into campaign centres, turned the churches into places of politicking.
“How can you prophesy that God told you who will win and it did not come to pass? And you want to blame it on rigging.
“When we know that God’s Word supersedes every rigging!
“We messed up the altar, we defiled the Altar. How do we want power to move from altar that has been defiled? We cannot continue with such iniquities.
“I pray that God will forgive us. Forgive us Oh Lord, forgive Your Church, forgive Christianity in Nigeria”
The Catholic priest who spiced his preaching with Igbo language urged listeners to to “Just let it be like this’ but “. If you want to misunderstand me, that is your business.”
