An Ijaw Monarch Hits Rev. Fr. Mbaka Hard about his Statement on Jonathan

An Ijaw monarch, the Paramount Ruler of Akipelai community in Ogbia Local Government  Area of Bayelsa State and former  Commissioner for Information and Strategy in the state, Chief Asara Asara came against clergymen that have turned their pulpits into campaign arenas in his reaction to the alleged discrediting statement made by Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN).

He described it as “mischievous and dangerous for the country’s democracy.”  He advised the clergy to focus on their divine calling of preaching the message of salvation to mankind rather than getting involved in politics. 

According to him, “The likes of Mbaka are money conscious and have turned churches into business centres and are obtaining money for the performance of miracles.”

Sequel to the alleged statement by the cleric on Mr. presidents reelection, the cleric told his congregation that he was receiving threats via text messages.

Police on their side revealed that the cleric did not report such threats to them.

Meanwhile, observation shows that the cleric and the presidency have mended fences already as the Nigerian Television Authority NTA showed an event where the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan was anointed with oil for divine favour yesterday by Rev. Fr. Mbaka.

It would be recalled that the cleric was reported to have said in a sermon that Nigeria would be doomed if Jonathan is re-elected.
