Ohaneze bombs Mbaka over comments on Jonathan , says he is serving spiritual poison

The Youth Council of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo on Wednesday carpeted the fiery Catholic priest,  Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, for his recent advice to Nigerians to reject President Jonathan in the coming election because of alleged non-performance, and urged Nigerians to ignore his remarks.

Describing his remarks as “spiritual poison” unbecoming of a religious leader, the National President of the Ohaneze Youth Council,  Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, urged Nigerians, especially Ndigbo, to ignore the vituperation of the Catholic priest as he was not speaking for either the Catholic Church or Ndigbo.
He said the comments by Rev. Father Mbaka against the president were not only vexatious but inciting and advised him to steer clear of politics and face his spiritual calling.
"Mbaka as a man of God should have stayed out of politics and concentrated on winning souls for God. He does not understand the issues he dabbled into and he appears to be under the prodding of fifth columnists. His followers expected him to give them spiritual food but he is now giving them a spiritual poison,” the group lamented.
 Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has dissociated itself from the New Year speech made by the Enugu-based catholic pries.
The body of bishops said priests should not be partisan and also advised that Nigerians should avoid making 'unguided statements' and 'hasty generalisation' on national issues like the 2015 general election
The body's president and Archbishop of Jos, Ignatius Kaigama said the statement of one Catholic priest cannot be taken to represent the voices of more than 30 million Catholics in Nigeria.
Archbishop Kaigama added that it is completely out of place for a Catholic priest to be partisan.
