Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka does not speak for the Catholic Church in Nigeria- CBCN

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has separated itself from the late comments made by the Catholic Priest and Founder of Adoration Ministry, Enugu Catholic Archdiocese, Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka who in his New Year message depicted President Jonathan’s organization as one that has been tormented with bad fortunes and very poor performance.

In a meeting with Thisday daily paper, the CBCN President, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigam, said that Fr Mbaka’s comments does not speak to the position of the Catholic Church in Nigeria. He said that Fr Mbaka was only one out of the 30million catholic faithfuls in Nigeria and that the position of the Catholic church on any matter of National essentialness is conveyed just through the CBCN.

In a related improvement, the Catholic Bishop of Abuja Metropolitan, Cardinal John Onaiyekan has said that given the standards of the Catholic church, Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka should be sanctioned after his comments about President Goodluck Jonathan’s organization.
