Father Mbaka: President Jonathan should resign honourably

Nigeria’s controversial Catholic priest, Father Camilius Ejike Mbaka has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to quit office honourably, saying that the message is from the Oracle of the Holy Spirit. In a new year message to his flock, at the Adoration Ground in Enugu, eastern Nigeria, Mbaka said the Holy Spirit told him that Nigeria is at the brink of change, following the bad leadership provided in the last six years by President Jonathan. According to Mbaka, Goodluck leadership of Nigeria has turned into a national bad luck. The theme of his message was: From Good Luck to bad Luck. “Goodluck met our oil, it turned to bad luck. He met our Naira, it became bad luck. We need change. Christmas that ought to be Goodluck Christmas became bad luck Christmas, he said, to the applause of thousands of people who attended the open air event. Mbaka said he is worried about the future of Nigerian youths, the collapse of roads and the insecurity in the country. To him, the re-election of Jonathan will spell disaster for the country and repeatedly asked him to quit. “Nigeria is like an egg in the hands of Nigeria. We cannot allow him to break it. ..The way Nigeria is going, let Goodluck just go”. Mbaka also criticised clerics who he said have been compromised by President Jonathan. They should speak up, he said and ”drop the money they have collected”. “My interest is in the survival of our country”, he said and swore that he has not entered into any covenant with any politician to say what he said. He criticised President Jonathan’s record in the fight against insurgents, saying at no time in the history of Nigeria, since the civil war, had we shed so much blood like now. Seeking divine intervention, Mbaka said: “the same God that saved us from Ebola will save us from bad luck season
