Mbaka Angry With Buhari Because He Refused Him Contracts – Presidency

The presidency has alleged that a fiery Catholic cleric, Father Ejike Mbaka who supported president Buhari but has now turned against the president is angry because his request for contracts was ignored.

Mbaka, who supported Buhari in his first and second term elections, recently called for Buhari’s impeachment.

In a statement, on Friday Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu suggested that Mbaka “asked for contracts as compensation for his support.

“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,” Garba said.

Read the full statement:

“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.

“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.”
