Renowned Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has come under fire over his comments on presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.
Mbaka had said in one of his preachings that Obi can never be Nigeria’s President.

Mbaka, at his Adoration Ministry in Enugu State, had declared that, unless God ceases to exist, Obi would never smell the seat of the President.
The Reverend Father had stated that, it was better to have an old man as President than a “stingy young man.”
According to him, Nigeria will be in a better position with Atiku taking the helm of affairs rather than the one-time governor of Anambra state.
It is now that Atiku is seriously contesting for President; now that he is contesting without Peter Obi; it is now that he is serious? We want somebody that is serious.
Meanwhile, there have been calls by some Nigerians to the Catholic Church authority to call the cleric to order.
