Peter Obi made this known in a statement issued to newsmen by his media aide, Val Obienyem.

The Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi has called on Nigerians to pray to God to lead Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka right.

He said “Please let us leave Fr. Mbaka alone; our duty to him is prayers for God to lead him to the right direction. "

Obi also called on Nigerians not to condemn the controversial priest and founder of Adoration Ministry, Enugu state.

He made this known in a statement issued to newsmen by his media aide, Val Obienyem.

This is coming after Mbaka publicly declared that Atiku Abubakarthe PDP presidential candidate, will fail in his presidential bid.

The priest was made the declaration after Obi, who he asked to publicly make a donation to his ministry, opted to do so in private.

In his response, Mbaka said “God hates stinginess. I am not telling you this, to make you happy. This is what will save your life. Otherwise you and Atiku will fail.”

“If there is a place they will coat words for you, it is not at Mbaka’s altar. You can save your political destiny. Or in 2019, you people will not even know how they did the election. What will make my brother to come for bazaar and he won’t even break kola?

“The way you and Atiku are moving will end in shame,” he added.

I respect Mbaka

According to Vanguard, the PDP VP candidate also said that he respects Mbaka. Obi said “It is wrong for priests to be attacked based on what they said on the pulpits.

“While one may disagree with him, we should always acknowledge that he speaks and acts from the, higher perspective of wisdom.

“I have full respect for men of God and will always remember them in my prayers.

“When they go wrong as humans, subject to human frailties, ours is not to castigate them, but to pray to God to lead them aright.”

Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka was also criticised by some Nigerians on social media for receiving a donationfrom the Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who recently was accused of receiving bribes from contractors.
