Catholic Priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration
Ministry, Enugu, Fr Ejike Mbaka, has responded to the claim by the presidency
that he demanded for contracts for supporting President Muhammadu Buhari.
Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu made the claim while
reacting to Mbaka’s call for Buhari’s resignation over the high level of
insecurity in the country.
According to him, Fr Mbaka asked for a meeting with the
president and came along with three contractors.
Responding, Mbaka while speaking on Sunday at the Adoration Ministry in Enugu confirmed that he took three contractors to tackle insecurity during Buhari’s first term not for himself.
According to him, he had no personal relationship with the
three men that he took to the presidency.
Mbaka said, “In Nigeria, if you say the truth, they attack
you. I’m not discouraged and I’ve been waiting for them to challenge everything
I said. Challenge the truth, whether there is insecurity or not.
“Somebody talked about giving me contracts and I started
laughing. I’m not here to defend any allegation.
“Buhari government is not giving me money or contract. It is
a laughable and childish accusation. It is a shame to whoever is saying that
and to the people he is representing.
“The three men Shehu talked about; the contract they asked
for was for them not me. These three men had gadgets, facilities to handle
insecurity during the first term of Buhari.
“They said they had a platform to end insecurity in a month.
I don’t know these people. They just asked me to help them reach the government
and I handed them over to the government.
“These are the three people they rejected their offer. I’m
not begging them. Do they know how many people I feed. I don’t have their number.
“Which contract did they deny me of? Do they know how many
widows and children I’m taking care of?”
Mbaka warned the presidency to stop attacking those who say
the truth and tackle insecurity, adding that even Garba Shehu, the presidential
Spokesman can be killed by bandits.
“Be careful in your choice of words and be wise. If anybody
says the truth, the person is a terrorist. I do my charity without their
support. I thank Ugwuanyi who has created an enabling environment here for me.
“Garba Shehu that is talking, the bandits can kill him too.
No amount of security can save them if things get worse.
“With the support of the government of Enugu, God has given
me the grace to do all my projects. If I can be doing this, the federal
government should do more.
He further attacked President Buhari for travelling to the
UK for medical check-up.
“How would a whole Nigeria not have a good hospital, that
our president will be flown out of the country for medical treatment.
“They have shown they don’t have reward mechanism. Shehu
should be apologising to me.”
