Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the spiritual leader of the Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Nigeria, has publicly criticized Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde regarding the recent kidnapping of schoolchildren and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area. In a viral video, Mbaka claimed that there is effectively 'no governor' in Oyo due to the state's mismanagement of security issues. He suggested that the kidnappings might be politically motivated, aimed at inciting public anger against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections. Mbaka drew parallels to tactics used against former President Goodluck Jonathan during his re-election campaign, asserting that such actions are intended to destabilize the current administration. His statements have sparked a range of reactions from the public, with some expressing frustration over the lack of accountability from leaders, while others speculate on potential repercussions for Makinde after the upcoming elections. The discourse reflects ongoing concerns about governance and security in Nigeria, as citizens demand more effective leadership and transparency in the management of security resources.
