Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has explained why he led three contractors to President Muhammadu Buhari during his first term in office.
The cleric said he took the three men to Buhari with a view to proffering solutions to the security challenges confronting the country.
Mbaka stated this in reaction to the accusation by the Presidency that he demanded Buhari’s resignation because of the President’s refusal to grant his contract request.
The cleric, who supported Buhari during the 2015 and 2019 elections, had last Wednesday during his midweek ministration demanded the President’s resignation or impeachment over his failure to tackle the worsening insecurity in the country.
The Presidency, in its reaction to Mbaka’s demands, however, alleged that the cleric had suddenly become a critic because Buhari refused to award contracts to his allies.
But Mbaka, in his reaction to the Presidency’s accusation, admitted that he led three security experts to the President to proffer solutions to the insecurity ravaging the country.
He, however, claimed that the three men were not known to him and had only approached him to help them get to the President.
He said, “Yes, I led three security experts to the Presidency who offered to help salvage the security situation in Nigeria.
“I don’t know them, but they came to Enugu and pleaded for me to link them to government because of the level of insecurity and how Nigeria has been moving oil outside the country. These are the three people they rejected their offer.
“I am happy that the truth was hitting them. We are not afraid of them. Buhari cannot do it again; health and age are not on his side. We need a stronger and an experienced goalkeeper in a time like this. If they want to put it that it was because of contract, let them come and build the highest university here and begin to mess up, I will still speak.”
