The presidency has reacted to Fr Mbaka’s calls for President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
This follows the popular Catholic priest’s outbursts about the insecurity plaguing the nation as well as the wanton killing of Igbos.
Speaking on behalf of the presidency, Garba Shehu, Senior Special assistant to the president on media and publicity said that:
“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.”

Ayemojubar@ayemojubar·Replying to @GarShehuBad guys always keep their receipts when it comes to making deals. Because it provides them with protection when they are in danger.
Gerald O. P@Okeygeraldino·Replying to @GarShehuFr Mbaka’s ministry has touched lives of thousands of poor families either through direct gifts or scholarships gotten from freewill donations etc If Fr Mbaka is asking for money/ contract from the President to help more families in need I don’t see what is wrong here.
Major general bazo@Ibnbazo·Replying to @GarShehuI knew it from the very first stage, Is either he was paid to do so or he something fishy has happened. So because his contract was rejected he is now calling for Buhari’s resignation?
