Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has condemned the recent protests for
Biafra, describing the action as evil.
Fr. Mbaka made the condemnation on Saturday in
Enugu during a sermon at his weekly Adoration Ministry where he urged
youths in the South East and South-South to go back to their homes and
businesses as the protest could lead to their death.
According to NAN, he said:
“Locking up your shops and disrupting economic activities
will not add any naira to your pocket, whatever grievance you have could be
resolved through dialogue,” the cleric said.
He also lashed out at leaders that were behind the
protests, saying they should use their own children for the struggle not the
public.
Fr. Mbaka commended President Muhammadu Buhari's appointment
of ministers from the zone and assigning them with good positions.
“President Buhari’s action has proven that the South-East
has not been marginalised. I would have reacted if no minister emerged from the
zone,” he said.
He blamed Igbo leaders for the bad infrastructures in the
regions.
He said: “President Buhari is not the cause of poor roads,
unemployment and other decay infrastructures in the South East, we should blame
our leaders.
“Most of the roads had been awarded but our leaders
squandered the fund, even the university teaching hospital in Enugu is a
no-go-area and our leaders are not concerned about it,” he said.
Fr. Mbaka called on the new Minister of Labour and
Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, to use his office to employ youths in the zone,
adding that it would stop what he called another Boko Haram in the South East
if not curtailed
He ended by urging Nigerians to be patient with the
president as he had good plans for the country.
