The cleric
maintained that he will never be silent on the many killings and bloodshed
going on in the country.
Founder and
Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministries Enugu, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka,
has explained why he refused to acquire a private jet like other pastors.
Mbaka said although
he has the funds to acquire private jets also, he would rather use the money to
feed the poor and help the needy.
The cleric
maintained that he will never be silent on the many killings and bloodshed
going on in the country.
He said, ”His
children are suffering. Is this not Jesus who said, give them something to eat.
We are ministers of God. It is not that Father Mbaka cannot fly jet but what am
I doing with jet when my people have no job and no food to eat?
”It does not mean I
cannot have millions in the bank, watching the money. Whatever God will give me
that I will not use to serve the church and help the poor masses, let it not
come to me. People should take things easy and understand me.
”Those who think
Mbaka will be quiet, you are wasting your time. Do you know how many people
have died under one month in a country like this, how much blood has been shed?
They cannot ask me to keep quiet. No blood is worth being shed.”
SaharaReporters had
earlier reported how operatives of the Department of State Services summoned
the controversial priest to Abuja for questioning.
It was gathered
that the operatives visited the church to drop the letter of invitation.
However, they didn't meet the cleric at the church premises.
Details of why the
intelligence unit summoned the priest were not stated but it might be connected
with Mbaka's criticism of the President Muhammadu Buhari government in recent
times.
