Nigerians Won’t Vote for you in 2019 – Rev. Mbaka

Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, a Catholic priest has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration saying Nigerians will not vote for him in 2019 if he does

not address the high level of hunger and suffering in the country.

 

Mbaka has been one of Buhari’s most vocal supporters since he asked Nigerians to reject the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party during the 2015 presidential pol and predicted Buhari’s victory.

 

In a new video, he said No nation, could survive when the cankerworm of corruption eats deep into its social fabric as was witnessed in the past administration which informed his interest and desire to opt for a change.

 

The change which eventually came under the leadership of Buhari, he said , is not helping matters as poverty is ”smelling” in Nigeria. Landlords the fiery Catholic clergy said are lamenting while tenants are hungry and frustrated.

 

In the message, Mbaka noted that there was too much suffering in the country, and faulted the President for not appointing the right people.

He also accused the President of listening to the wrong advice.

 

“The issue is that Mbaka is speaking as the Spirit leads him – there is hunger everywhere.  My job is to tell leaders the truth, the landlords are crying, the tenants are lamenting, sellers are crying, buyers are lamenting – there is hunger on the streets.

“I can’t keep quiet when things are going wrong.

“I am telling the President to look around him and know those who are advising him rightly and those who are telling him that there is no trouble.

 

“The President should know that there is trouble – if things continue like this, in the next election, nobody will vote for him.

“Whether they like it or not, I am speaking the raw truth.

“If the President should have somebody like me and he cannot be talking with me, then there is a problem.

 

“There is a problem somewhere; somebody who can advise you without asking for anything and he is representing the poor masses in the country and he won’t tell you lies.

 

“He will praise you when you are doing well and when you are not doing well, he will look at you in the face and tell you.”

 

Continuing, he said, “I don’t need the President; I need God, I need the Holy Spirit, I need Jesus; there is suffering everywhere, people are suffering.

“To feed is now a problem, and an hungry man is an angry man.

“Hunger and anger will lead to danger.

 

“So, let him know whether he can do away with some advisers around him and bring in the people who are experts in economic revamp”.
