Fr Mbaka asked for contracts as compensation for his support for Buhari – Presidency

The presidency has fired back at Catholic Preist, Fr. Ejike Mbaka over his recent comment on the state of the nation.

Fr. Mbaka had called on Buhari to resign over the spate of killings in Nigeria.

However, the presidency in its reply, claimde that Father Mbaka asked for contracts as compensation for his support for Buhari.

Garba Shehu, Buhari’s media aide in a statement said is angry because he didn’t secure the contract;

“An outsider distilling the avalanche of verbiage, will be surprised that after supporting the President two times to win the Presidency, Father Mbaka has made a complete U-Turn, preposterously asking President Buhari to resign or be impeached.

“Here is the point of departure: Father Mbaka asked for a meeting and to the shock of Presidential Aides, he came accompanied by three contractors.

“The President graciously allowed them in, and to everyone’s surprise, Father Mbaka asked for contracts as compensation for his support.

“Anyone familiar with President Buhari knows that he doesn’t break the laid down rules in dealing with contracts or any other government business for that matter. He requested the appropriate authorities to deal with the matter in accordance with laid down rules.

“Inside the Villa, discretion prevailed, that if those pictures and requests were made public, the followers will turn against the religious leader. None of it was released. Now, this is what is eating Father Mbaka.”
