Nigerians React As Fr Mbaka Apologises To Peter Obi
Nigerians have taken to microblogging platform, Twitter to react to the decision of Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Fr. Ejike Mbaka to apologise to the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, over ‘stingy man’ comment.
Recall that Mbaka while addressing his church members had stated that the former Governor of Anambra State can not be Nigeria’s next president.
Mbaka further stated that it is better to have an old man rule Nigeria, than a stingy man.
The statement attracted reactions from Nigerians who condemned Mbaka for attacking the presidential candidate.
Mbaka, however, on Friday apologized for attacking Obi, adding that he would continue to pray for him and give his blessing to Obi’s presidential ambition.
He added that Obi remains his friend and he wishes him success.
Some Nigerians in their reaction feel the apology of the cleric was not sincere and he might decide to change is stand someday
See some reactions below:
Tomorrow he will say he waa FORCED to tender an apology. He should keep his prayers for those coming for adoration in his parish.
