Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, spiritual director of the Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), has launched a scathing attack on Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, alleging a satanic political agenda behind the recent kidnapping of schoolchildren and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area. In a trending video, the cleric claimed that no real governor exists in Oyo and that the abduction has political undertones aimed at undermining President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.
Fr Mbaka's Allegations
Fr Mbaka drew parallels with the strategy used against former President Goodluck Jonathan during his 2017 re-election campaign, stating, "If they want to overthrow Tinubu, it is not by kidnapping our children so that the whole of Nigeria will be angry against the president. That was what they did against Jonathan." He urged Nigerians to march to Oyo State and demand accountability from Governor Makinde regarding the use of security votes allocated to the state.
Public Reactions
The cleric's outburst has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians. Possible Edor remarked, "Whether you agree with him or not, moments like this remind us that people are frustrated and desperately want leaders to hear their concerns. Strong words may grab attention, but what truly matters is whether they lead to accountability, better governance, and real solutions for ordinary citizens."
Kehinde Oyediran projected the arrest of Governor Makinde after the 2027 elections: "After the 2027 presidential election has been won by Tinubu and after the expiration of Seyi Makinde's tenure, I urge Tinubu to arrest Seyi Makinde, let him pay for the satanic role he played."
Adeniyi questioned the governor's spending of security votes: "The truth is that the more we pay these bandits, the more people see it as a lucrative business. Adedibu said the same thing during the time of Ladoja, now the Olubadan, that the security votes weren't used to secure the state. He was asking for some portion of it to feed the people."
Agba Omoluwabi called for the country's breakup, noting that insecurity would always be used against any president: "For Nigeria to prosper going forward, they need to break the country. This man is actually saying the right thing here; no matter who comes as president, they'll use the same game. This brought tears to my eyes for real."
