A popular Catholic cleric, Father Mbaka has been under attack for calling for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari. He was alleged of requesting for contract from President Muhammadu Buhari.
This, the Presidency said he was requesting for as a reward for supporting the presidential ambition of Buhari for two times.
The Presidency, however, alleged that ever since President Buhari has turned against Father Mbaka, he has been angry.
Mbaka was recently called on the National Assembly to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari if he failed to resign over rising insecurity in the country.
Presidency in it reaction on Friday to the call of Father Mbaka, alleged that father Mbaka asked for contracts as compensation for his support for the President.
According to Garba Sheu, who is the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to 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.
“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.
He added that, “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,” Garba Sheu stated.
