'As a Reverend Father, were you called by God to speak for Buhari?' Reno Omokri asks priest

The founder of Mind of Christ Christian Center ministry, Reno Omokri, has condemned Reverend Mbaka for defending President Buhari.

Daily Post reports that the Catholic priest urged Nigerians not to blame the president for the country's economic state, as things would have been worse under Jonathan's administration.

"President Muhammadu Buhari was not to be blamed for the present economic challenges in the country.

If (former President Goodluck) Jonathan was the president today, the situation would have been worse", he added.

This rubbed the founder of Mind of Christ Christian Center ministry the wrong way, as seen in Omokri's recent outbursts on social media.

On Facebook, he wrote, "Dear Reverend Fr. Mbaka, The wife of an evangelist was beheaded-you kept quiet. Her suspected killers were acquitted-you kept quiet. However, today you have find your voice to defend President Muhammadu Buhari and condemn former President Goodluck Jonathan. As a Reverend Father, were you called by God to speak for a man who has 5 media aides and a minister of information all speaking for him or where you called to speak for the poor and powerless children of God who face injustice with no one speaking for them?"

On Twitter he asked a similar question.

These questions earned him a response from a Facebook user named Yazeed, who supported the reverend father's statements.

To this, Omokri advised the Mbaka supporter to become a Catholic.

Reverend Mbaka has not responded to Omokri's questions and statements, yet.

This is not the first time the Catholic priest has shown his support for the current administration.

In the past, he has described Buhari as God’s answer to the cry of Nigerians, warned people not to speak against Buhari, or face the wrath of God, while blaming former President Jonathan for the bad economy.

However, it is important to note that the priest has also criticised Buhari, adding that no one would vote for him in 2019.
