EKO HOT BLOG reports that followers of controversial Catholic priest Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka on Sunday took to the streets of Umuchigbo in Enugu metropolis to protest the ban on the Adoration Ministry Enugu headed by the priest.
The Bishop of Enugu Catholic Diocese, Most. Rev. Callistus Onaga on Saturday banned all priests and Catholic faithful from attending Mbaka’s Adoration Ministry following the priest’s harsh remarks on Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Mbaka on Wednesday at his Adoration grounds said Obi would never be the President because he is a stingy man, adding the politician is cursed.
The followers called for the immediate removal of the Bishop of Enugu, Callistus Onaga.
With leaves and placards, they chanted solidarity songs and repeatedly chorused “Onaga Must Go”.
On Friday, Bishop Onaga announced a ban on activities at the Adoration Ground in Enugu.
He said some of the teachings and utterances of Mbaka “are not consistent with the teachings and faith of the Catholic Church”.
Mbaka drew the anger of his superiors after damning comments against Obi, a 2023 presidential hopeful.
The former two-term Governor of Anambra State is the candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
The cleric had declared that Obi cannot become the President of Nigeria because he is “stingy”.
