The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, stated that the pope will be pleased that he is criticizing what he described as a bad government in Nigeria.
He said:
''The pope will clap for me if he hears that I am challenging a bad government in Nigeria. So, the APC can go ahead and report me to him.
“The Pope may even give me a position I may not want to handle.''
