Fr. Oluoma Chinenye John, a priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, has reacted to a recent prophecy by Fr Ejike Mbaka, Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, describing Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi as a stingy man.
Mbaka declared on Wednesday during an adoration program that Peter Obi cannot be elected President of Nigeria because he is too stingy and would impoverish Nigerians.
Concerned Nigerians have continued to react to Mbaka’s remark, particularly Obi supporters who have taken to social media to lambast the Catholic priest.
The Catholic Diocese of Enugu has also condemned Mbaka’s inflammatory political remarks, urging the general public to hold him accountable.
Reacting also, Fr Oluoma, in a Facebook post, argued that Mr Obi may only be stingy to private ministries like Mbaka’s adoration ministry but not public institutions like schools.
He wrote, “My positions on 2023 elections are: Na presidential candidate wey no bribe delegates we go vote.
“Na candidate wey dey stingy to private ministries but generous to public institutions like schools and hospitals we go vote”.
