Reactions have trailed Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka’s comment about the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi who he described as a ‘stingy man’.
Gatekeepers News earlier reported that Mbaka, while speaking at his Adoration Ministry in Enugu, said Peter is a stingy man and can never be Nigeria’s President.
He urged his followers not to vote for a “stingy man”, saying it was better to have an old man as President than a ‘stingy young man’.
“A stingy man, that cannot give people his money, with this hunger ravaging the land, and you are saying he is the one you want. You want to die of hunger? Are you people insane? Where is the Holy Spirit?”
He stressed: “I did not say he is a bad man; I said he is a stingy man. A hungry man wants someone that is generous; the man has so much money, but he is ‘I, me, myself’. But that money will not be useful to him.”
Netizens have, however, thrown their weight behind Peter Obi, saying the fact that he is a ‘stingy’ man as claimed by Mbaka, shows he won’t lavish public funds.

Why are you people angry at Fr Mbaka nau 😂😂😂😂
He is saying the truth jare 😑
Peter is STINGY with public funds which is even why we are supporting him
Since they started sharing the resources of this country, what did we achieve?
Are we not POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD??

I can only blame whoever takes religious leaders like Father Mbaka seriously. Here was a man that said that Buhari is the Messiah of the country. After they stopped greasing his palm, he stopped supporting Buhari. Only a dumb@ss would follow what he says about Peter Obi.

The sin of Peter Obi is that he didn’t donate money to you publicly.
Mbaka stop challenging God

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Kemi Adeosun admire Peter Obi because he is against sharing the public wealth.
Fr. Mbaka and PR merchants hate him because he is against sharing money.
Nigerians look, you know who your enemies are. The money politicians share, does it get to you?
NO!!!— Everest (@novieverest) June 16, 2022
Did I hear that Mbaka has rolled out his tongues once again? This time, he hit a sacred object- our saintly Peter Obi. He told his congregation that Peter Obi wouldn’t win the presidency because he is stingy. Obviously stingy because he doesn’t give Shi-Shi 🤣

Mbaka blessed Buhari and recommended him yet nothing changed. Maybe we need the man he cursed; since the one he blessed made Nigeria a living hell.

Truely this election is revealing.
From pastors, priests, politicians, activists, everyone.Imagine Father Mbaka don’t want you to vote Peter Obi because he wasn’t successful in manipulating him into giving to his ministry with the name of God.
God is alive.

MBAKA, WHY?
Father Mbaka “placed a curse” on Chimaroke Nnamani the governor of Enugu state. Declaring that “If I be a man of God” Chimaroke Nnamani won’t win a second term in office.
Needless to say, Nnamani completed his second term very very well and is presently a senator https://t.co/1K7cq2h72e

On the 07/09/2021 His Excellency, Peter Obi donated ₦100m to Bishop Shanahan Hospital of Nursing and Midwifery, Nsukka. Enugu State. Yet Fr. Mbaka has the efforntery to tag Peter Obi stingy simply coz Peter Obi refused to be emotionally blackmailed in 2018/2019 in his church. pic.twitter.com/WTZBe4PHjP
