In the hour-long interview, Bishop Benjamin who is also a United Nations Peace Ambassador explained that the criticism of Nigeria's president are the opinions of Father Mbaka and not God's own.

He said: "Every cleric has followers who listen to every word they say which is why a cleric must be very careful especially when it concerns the entire society and politics in Nigeria. As we are looking forward to elections coming up in Nigeria in the next few weeks we should be very careful of inciting statements that could cause violence or disrupt peaceful coexistence, so whatever the reverend father said to Jonathan are all his opinion and not the generality of the Christian community."
