The Presidency, on Friday, said the spiritual director of the Adoration Ministry (AMEN), Father Mbaka once demanded contracts as compensation for supporting President Muhammadu Buhari but was rebuffed.
In a statement, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu made this known, saying Mbaka’s call on Buhari to resign over the worsening insecurity in the country was because he was shunned by the president.
“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,” Garba said.
“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.”
According to the presidential spokesman, 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.
Shehu said the presidency had exercised discretion by not revealing details of the cleric’s request to save him from criticism.
Recall Mbaka, on Wednesday, declared that God is angry with the president over his inaction on the widespread killings across the nation, urging the National Assembly to impeach him he fails to resign.
