protests for Biafra. He described the entire action as evil.
He further urged youths in the South East
and South-South to go back to their homes and
businesses as the protest could lead to their
death.
According to NAN, he said:
“Locking up your shops and disrupting
economic activities will not add any naira to
your pocket, whatever grievance you have
could be resolved through dialogue,” the
cleric said.
He also lashed out at leaders that were behind the
protests, saying they should use their own
children for the struggle not the public.
Fr. Mbaka commended President Muhammadu
Buhari's appointment of ministers from the zone
and assigning them with good positions.
“President Buhari’s action has proven that
the South-East has not been marginalised. I
would have reacted if no minister emerged
from the zone,” he said.
He blamed Igbo leaders for the bad
infrastructures in the regions.
He said: “President Buhari is not the cause
of poor roads, unemployment and other
decay infrastructures in the South East, we
should blame our leaders.
“Most of the roads had been awarded but
our leaders squandered the fund, even the
university teaching hospital in Enugu is a no-
go-area and our leaders are not concerned
about it,” he said.
Fr. Mbaka called on the new Minister of Labour
and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, to use his good office
to employ youths in the zone, adding that it would
stop what he called another Boko Haram in the region if care is not taken.
He concluded by urging Nigerians to exercise patient with
Buhari that he has good plans for the
country.
