Enugu Catholic Priest Rev Father Ejike Mbaka, of Adoration Ministry publicly apologised for the partisan role the church played during the elections.
Rev. Fr Mbaka said: “The world should hear me, I’m using my name as a reverend father, a prophet and a messenger of God to apologise on behalf of the whole men of God; pastors, priests and bishops.
“I’m not worthy to apologise for bishops but I’m apologising, let the mercy of God descend because what we did within this political moment, a lot of indescribable political brouhaha and political jingoism and a lot of atrocities we manifested by burying the power of the sacrament beneath political forces, political huffs and vultures, and they want to ‘vulturise’ the church.
“We turned the church into campaign centres. We turned the church into a place of politicking. We messed up the altar. We defiled the altar of the Most High God.
“We offended God and we started teaching the people in church where to vote and how they will do it.
“Where they drew humans, the church said it’s the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit (the three trinity in one God). Lots of blunders that were made by taking the glory of God and giving it to mortals.
“I’m pleading for the mercy of God. I pray that God will forgive us for we have gotten it wrong this time.”
