Popular Catholic priest, Ejike Mbaka, has kicked against the presidential aspiration of the Labour party’s presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi.
While speaking to members of his church on Wednesday, June 15, Mbaka said a stingy man cannot be Nigeria’s president because Nigerians are hungry and they need a generous man.
”A stingy man cannot be our President. We are very hungry. We need a generous person. Nigerians are hungry. Are we not hungry?”he asked

Meanwhile, some Nigerians on social media have lambasted the clergyman for his opinions as some say he wasn’t speaking as a true minister of God but he was speaking for his pocket.
