Following the controversy that generated after controversial Catholic priest of Enugu Adoration Ministry, Rev. Fr.

Father Mbaka who said he was poised to apologize out of humility
The statement read:
“Some of you may be expecting me to write something and put it online or join the attacking group or defensive group, it is not my job. I don’t have time to waste. I am not even a priest of social media. It may surprise you to hear I don’t even have a personal Facebook. All these things I am hearing, I don’t even know about it.
Meanwhile, on behalf of myself, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka Carmelus, the servant and the spiritual director of this adoration ministry, Enugu Nigeria. I wish to apologise humbly to the former Governor of Anambra state, Mr. Peter Obi, who came here on Sunday for Bazaar, in any way shape or form. My utterances and actions on that bazaar induced, initiated or prompted derogatory remarks, criticisms, unhealthy attacks to his personality. I don’t intend any of these. All I said on that day,
I never meant to insult him nor to bring his political career down. My intention is simply to support the work of God. If my actions exhibited dismeanor or any unhealthy attitude that provoked even himself and those who love him that brought about all these babble attack, I am asking whoever was or is or will be hurt to please, please and please forgive me.
Henceforth, I will equally encourage you adorers to keep focus on Christ whom we worship here and would ask you to ceasefire and stop fighting back.”
Recall that Mbaka was criticized on social media after a video emerged showing the man of God saying that Peter Obi and Atiku will fail in their 2019 bid after Obi refused to disclose the amount he promised to give to his ministry.
