The Founder and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministries Enugu, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, has revealed why he refused to acquire a private jet like other pastors.
The clergyman said although he has the funds to acquire private jets, he would rather use the money to feed the poor and help the needy.
Mbaka, who was banned by Catholic Bishop of Enugu diocese, Callistus Onaga from commenting on partisan politics, said he will never be silent on the many killings and bloodshed going on in the country.
He said, ”His children are suffering. Is this not Jesus who said, give them something to eat. We are ministers of God. It is not that Father Mbaka cannot fly jet but what am I doing with jet when my people have no job and no food to eat?
”It does not mean I cannot have millions in the bank, watching the money. Whatever God will give me that I will not use to serve the church and help the poor masses, let it not come to me. People should take things easy and understand me.
”Those who think Mbaka will be quiet, you are wasting your time. Do you know how many people have died under one month in a country like this, how much blood has been shed? They cannot ask me to keep quiet. No blood is worth being shed.”
