The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, on Sunday, knocked the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, over the hardship caused by the new naira.
According to Daily Post, he stated this while addressing congregants at the Adoration ministry.
He stated that there’s no justification for the pain which the development has caused Nigerians.
Mbaka said, “People will suffer to make money and still suffer to take their money and there is still a country; tomorrow you will say Fr. Mbaka said; why do you force me to say something? I am giving both the President and the CBN governor a mandate from heaven, if they don’t want to react immediately and stop this self-imposed wicked suffering on the people, they will suffer.
“What a rubbish; why do you multiply misery; people are sleeping in the bank to get their money; in which country has it ever happened? People are now selling money; not dollars; it is easier now to get dollars than to get naira; parents cannot have money to buy foodstuff for their children; I don’t know how many will be alive by the time the so-called new currency will come out. The new currency is not even good, the design very poor, the colour separation rubbish;
“And everybody is talking election, election. Will dead men do the election? Men of God you better open your mouths; I have come back from monastery to see my people in suffering, in agony; it is time to tell Pharoah, ‘let my people go’,” he warned.
“You are killing people; what kidnappers are not doing; you are doing worse. People cannot access healthcare, by the time the doctor gets alert, the person is dead.”
He claimed that the new naira policy was “evil in the nation” and that 99 percent of the populace was unaware of it. Why not push out the old naira if you’re not ready with the new one?
He expressed his sadness over the fact that many Nigerians had lost their jobs since he had left the monastery.
“Do you think that if this situation continues, that Nigerians will do election?” He queried.
“What is happening now is a coup d’etat on democracy. But who will say it? To buy pure water, will you do a cash transfer? Why mess up Nigeria because you people are going? Why didn’t you start it all the while? 8 years was enough for you people to stabilise it, wickedness. No job, no food, no house.
“The present government, I want to ask you, change, or you people will cry, what you are inviting, you cannot face it.
“The Hausas are crying; the Fulani are crying; the Yorubas are crying; the Igbos are crying; the Niger Delta people are crying; the Middle Belt are crying, who are you now leading?”
“The present government, I want to ask you, change, or you people will cry, what you are inviting, you cannot face it.
“The Hausas are crying; the Fulani are crying; the Yorubas are crying; the Igbos are crying; the Niger Delta people are crying; the Middle Belt are crying, who are you now leading?”
Mbaka has been noted for his outcry against the government as he has on numerous occasions voiced his displeasure with the Presidency.
It would be recalled that Mbaka returned to his Adoration Ministry in January, months after he was suspended and sent to the monastery by the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev. Calistus Onaga.
