Good Governance, Not Nnamdi Kanu’s Arrest, Is Solution To Nigeria’s Problems–Fr. Mbaka

Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, founder of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), says governors masterminded the re-arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Mbaka, in his midweek sermon entitled ‘E no dey again’, alleged that Mr Kanu was betrayed because of ‘political promise’.

He prayed for God’s favour upon Mr Kanu and other detainees, and maintained that the solution was good governance.

In his words, “Let the leaders listen. The solution is not in arrest and handcuff; the solution is job creation!

“Leaders’ stubbornness will collapse this country one day. If care is not taken, it will happen like an earthquake!

“Even if you arrest 100 people, it will not stop the agitation. If anything, it will worsen the situation.”

Referring to the celebration that greeted the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, Mbaka said, “Many people are clapping for them now. But when the heat becomes unbearable, when the sun riots, when heavens shake, you will understand.

“When they killed Jesus Christ and put him in the grave, because Jesus’ prison was in the grave, they thought it was all over for Him.

“Whoever that you have in heart now that is in the prison, may the Lord be with the person. May the Lord show such persons mercy. May they receive favour; favour for my people.

“May the Lord show him favour, even from the prison warders that would be protecting him.”

He further blamed the federal government for the suffering which Nigerians are currently passing through.

According to him, “Our suffering in Nigeria is unnecessary. There is no reason, apart from wickedness, why people should suffer in this country.

“I remember when we were growing up. You would hardly hear that people stole. Politics was not about amassing wealth at that time. But today, kidnapping has become a multi-billion business. And if you come to the Southeast, the zone has become the hub of hardship.

“If our leaders do not find a way to put Nigeria on a good platform, one day, this country will collapse.

“Our leaders are not ready to utilize our resources well, but it cannot continue like this. Vengeance is coming.”
