Maximus Ugwuoke, the spokesperson of the Adoration Ministry, said “Those who are saying he should stay out of politics are misguided. It is part of the role of priests. So, they are merely trying to cow him down but I can tell you that Fr. Mbaka is not somebody to be intimidated; the more they do this, the more he is strengthened.”
Adding that “In these past years, you can see how God had vindicated him; you can see his prophetic message before the general elections; at a time, he was repeating that prophecy even in the face of threat to his life. So, today, we are celebrating victory against enemies of truth.”

While praying for President Buhari and the Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Mbaka said that he has forgiven those who attacked him for what he said in the course of the 2015 elections.
His words: “forgive all those who have fought us on the course of this ministry and bless those who have stood behind us.”
You will recall that President Buhari referred to Fr. Mbaka as a patriotic Nigerian in his congratulatory message.
