Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has issued a stern warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, cautioning that mass defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC) do not guarantee political continuity or electoral success.
In a strongly worded message, Fr. Mbaka criticized the Federal Government’s tax policies, describing the imposition of additional taxes amid widespread economic hardship as unjust and insensitive.
“There is nothing wrong with paying taxes,” Mbaka said, “but at a time like this, imposing taxes on the people is like wickedness.”
The outspoken cleric further warned that political alignment alone cannot secure victory, stressing that governance must be rooted in compassion and responsiveness to the suffering of citizens.
“Even if every governor joins the APC, you will fail,” he declared, underscoring that public goodwill, not party dominance, ultimately determines political survival.
Fr. Mbaka’s remarks come against the backdrop of growing public discontent over rising living costs, economic reforms, and tax measures introduced by the Tinubu administration.
