WHY PETER OBI MUST NOT APOLOGIZE TO FATHER MBAKA

  By:Chinedu Paschal

I have seen different calls on Peter Obi to apologise to Father Mbaka. I have no problems if Peter Obi goes ahead to do that because I know he could do that because of the nature of person he is but I am after setting the record straight and demoting arrogance no matter who exhibits it.

I need clarifications from the people who are advocating for an apology from Obi to Mbaka. 

1) Is Obi apologising for telling Father Mbaka to show him a project that he will support instead of announcing money publicly?

2) Is Obi apologising for Mbaka's attempt to gaslight him on "Mbaka's altar" in 2019?

3) Is Obi apologising for Mbaka's unforgiven spirit contrary to what he teaches his congregation?

4) Is Obi apologising for being insulted and being called stingy by Mbaka?

5) Is Obi apologising because Mbaka placed his selfish interest above the plight of Nigerians?

Peter Obi's  response to Mbaka's apology letter should be an acceptance of that apology and a show of his willingness to make up with the priest and not an apology to the priest for an offence he didn't commit. If Obi chooses to go and see the priest that is also fair enough but asking him to apologise for doing nothing reveals how deep our religious servitude is in this country. 

Please don't come here to spiritualise these things without responding directly and exactly to the questions above. I am not a team to promoting indecency and arrogance no matter who exhibits it.

It is not about winning or losing elections, it is about sanitising our society and redeeming the already battered mentality of our people.

I don't think anyone has been Mbaka's fan than I have ever been but in this case he has not shown a good example and we shouldn't reinforce arrogance in the guise of spirituality.
