The President of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria(CBCN), Bishop Ignatius Kaigama, on behalf of the bishops on Sunday defended Rv. Fr. Ejike Mbaka’s transfer from the Christ the King Parish, GRA, in Enugu metropolis, to Our Lady Parish, Emene, on the outskirts of Enugu. Recall Mbaka’s followers on Sunday accused the Peoples Democratic Party of masterminding the transfer of the founder and Spiritual Director of the ministry. According to Bishop Ignatius Kaigama, who condemned Mbaka’s prophecies, he said priests and leaders of the church must avoid “melodramatic displays that resembles modern broad-way shows.”
In his words, Kaigama said, “Those priests who tend to compete with so-called trendy pastors to dream dreams, see visions and utter prophecies are reminded that not all dreams, visions and prophecies are revelations from God. They are sometimes the product of one’s psychological disposition, brainwaves or even the result of mental fatigue and should not be confused with absolute reality.We need to think positively about the Nigerian project and act in a manner that builds rather than destroys.” The Assistant Secretary General of the CBCN and Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Felix Ajakaiye, who decried the controversy over Mbaka’s transfer, said, “When I am transferred I am transferred; no sensation should be attached.”
