Video Of Catholic Bishops Publicly Condemning Father Mbaka Over His 'Fight' With Peter Obi

The Bishops of the Catholic Church in Nigeria have condemned the altercation between Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi, and Rev. Father. Ejike Mbaka, a priest of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu on the issue of the forthcoming 2019 presidential election.

 

The Bishops said the Church is already taking the appropriate measures on the incident.

 

In a statement issued by the Secretary General of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Rev. Father Ralph Madu, yesterday, the Bishops condemned in its totality what they described as shameful embarassing scenario, contained in a video recording of the event at the Adoration Centre place of worship of Mbaka.

 

While maintaining that the incident did not have the support of the Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, Madu said the stand of the Catholic Church stated in its August 7, 2018 directives remains apolitical and does not support or subscribe to any political party.
