Don’t mock Rev. Fr. Mbaka’s scathing message – PDP scribe, Olisa Metuh warns

Following the recent criticism of President Jonathan by Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned Nigerians against attacking the cleric.

The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling party, Olisa Metuh says the founder of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu should not be mocked for criticizing the president.

Mbaka had, during the crossover service in his church, implored President Goodluck Jonathan to step down for Muhammadu Buhari in next month’s presidential election saying that he appeared incapable of leading the nation.

Metuh posted on the party’s Facebook page on Sunday, January 4, appealing to Nigerians on the internet to not chastise Mbaka, as he is a symbol of God.

He also added that the South-east region, being a stronghold of Catholics, would not tolerate attacks against a priest.

He wrote: “I want to appeal to some of these online support persons and/or groups to immediately stop and cease all attacks on Rev.Fr. Mbaka. If you are truly a child of God, please do know that a mockery of a recognised symbol of God’s authority is unacceptable even where we totally disagree with his message.”

“The south east being a strong catholic and Christian stronghold will not condone a campaign against a priest. I truly believe that President Goodluck Jonathan has made landmark achievements amidst the distraction of a well-oiled terrorist campaign. Indeed I appreciate a lot of people who at the expense of their time and resources have chosen to support Mr President and our party in the media.”

Furthermore, he stated that the PDP, although possessing its own share of imperfections, is a better alternative than the opposition.

“If you love President Goodluck Jonathan and you support PDP to win this election please do stay with, and on the message. “A lot of Nigerians will never believe that our party and our government (to the best of my knowledge) do not fund media support services. What we do have are volunteers who genuinely support us despite our perceived imperfections.”

“We have our imperfections but we are a lot better than this present alternative. Change to uncoordinated and chaotic movements never worked in Libya, Iraq, Egypt and a host of other countries. Our opponents should focus on challenging our programmes and policies. For now, they are fully engaged in insults, diatribes, propaganda and feeding on sentiments and emotions only. Let Nigerians freely choose,” Metuh wrote.
