Mbaka Apologises, Prays For Peter Obi Over Recent Comments

The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has apologised to the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi and his supporters over his comments on Wednesday.

“The followers of Peter Obi are the same youths I am praying for, sacrificing for, fighting for, speaking for, and working for their integral well-being.

"What the youths are passing through and their conditions give me sleepless nights.
