Rev. Fr. Mbaka has replied those criticising him for publicly asking the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi for money publicly.
Mbaka came under fire from Nigerians after he declared that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar will fail in his presidential bid following Obi’s refusal to publicly announce a donation to his ministry.
According to Daily Post, the priest said
“We do it outside, publicly because if I am silent, rumours will begin
to spread that someone gave me $10m and why did Mbaka keep quiet?
“They will abuse me even if I am silent because anytime they want to attack this ministry, they will start somewhere.
“If
I am silent they will attack, if I talk, they will attack it. And don’t
forget that the liturgy was not tampered with. I finished the mass and
even removed my priestly attire. No one can fault me on that.
“Everyone
who came was blessed but they turned it against me, saying I am after
money. God deserves money. If you don’t want to bring your own in your
stinginess, hold it. I will give God all that I have and even if anybody
wants to join them, you’re free to join them.
