Southern Kaduna Killings: Mbaka Only Sees Supreme Court Verdicts – PDP Group
A political group, PDP 2023 has condemned the incessant massacre of Nigerians in Southern Kaduna.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters also called out Father Ejike Mbaka, the founder and head of Adoration Ministries in Enugu.
The group wondered why the cleric, known for his predictions, saw no vision about the killings.
The Catholic priest was accused of seeing only judgments delivered by Nigeria’s apex court.
“Fr Mbaka is obviously blind to the killings happening in Southern Kaduna. He only sees who the Supreme Court wants to make Governor”, it tweeted.
Majority of the civilians in the Kaduna district are Christians.
The area has endured what many call “senseless killings” over the years.
This was one of the reasons the United States listed Nigeria among ‘Countries of Particular Concern’.
Repeated promises by the federal and state government, as well as security agencies, to end the murderers and destruction are yet to be seen fulfilled.
Nigerians and prominent groups accuse President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Nasir El-Rufai of failing to end the annihilation.
Several gory images of casualties of recent attacks are circulating on the internet.

NASS Sets Date For 2025 Budget Passage
Chairman, Senate committee on appropriations, Sen. Solomon Adeola, stated this on Monday in Abuja at a meeting with the chairmen of standing committees in the Senate.
According to him, Jan. 31 is the date for laying of reports on the appropriation bill before the Senate and the House of Representatives.
He said upon resumption from Christmas and New Year break on Jan. 14, both chambers of the national assembly would suspend plenary for two weeks for budget defence by ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).
Sen. Adeola also said that NASS had fixed Jan. 9 for an open day on the budget to enable various stakeholders, aside heads of MDAs, to make inputs on the budget.
“A tentative time table has been drawn for consideration of the budget at committee level.
“Budget defence sessions begin from Jan. 7, while reports from various committees are expected to be submitted from 15th to 18th of this month.
“Afterwards, collation and tidying up of the various reports will be done by the appropriation committee, with the hope of laying final report on the budget at the Senate on 31st of this month.
“However, the 31st of January fixed for laying of the budget is tentative, as it is just given to guide our work,” he said.
The principal officers of the Senate who attended the meeting included: the Deputy Leader, Sen. Lola Ashiru and Senate Whip, Sen. Tahir Monguno.
They said that the timeframe for consideration and passage of the 2025 budget by the national assembly was short.
They, however, expressed hope on the timely passage of the budget.
The committee, thereafter, went into a closed door session with chairmen of the various standing committees in the Senate.
