Is it appropriate for a religious leader to take sides in political matters? An Enugu-based Catholic cleric, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, has found himself in an epicenter of controversy following his utterances about and changed stance towards President Goodluck Jonathan. 
He has already been scolded by representatives of Nigerian Catholic church who maintained that there’s no place for politics in the house of God. Most recently, Chidi Odinkalu, Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), claimed that by his actions, Mbaka has breached Section 95 of the Electoral Act.
