The Presidency have reacted to the sermon by the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Fr Ejike Mbaka calling for the resignation or impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Presidential spokesperson,Garba Shehu in a statement on Friday said Mbaka once brought three contractors to President Buhari and was rebuffed.
The statement titled “Father Mbaka is everything apart form what he claims to be” reads , ” 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.”
Mbaka had on Wednesday said God is angry with the president over his inaction on the widespread killings across the nation while calling for his resignation.
“If it is in a civilized country, by now, President Buhari will resign. Quote me anywhere and let the whole world hear it. By now, with what is happening, President Buhari should honourably resign.”
Mbaka said Nigerians were crying because they did not have a shepherd, adding that all those who would fight what he was saying now would eventually suffer the rot.
“If you can’t do it, either you resign or you be changed. A good coach cannot watch his team defeated when he has players sitting watching on the bench. Either Buhari resigns by himself or he will be impeached,” he added.
Mbaka added: “Why are you crying Nigerian youths? As I said, overseas has become a dumping ground for our ingenious youths. Young doctors, lawyers, running away from Nigeria? Countries we are better than.
“What is the matter? Nigerians are crying, why? Because there is no security in this country. House of Reps and the Senate should impeach the President if he doesn’t want to resign.”
Mbaka stated that if the members of these two houses did not want to impeach him and they want to begin to fight Mbaka, something worse than what they ever imagined would happen to the members of the Senate and members of the house of Representatives, warning that disaster is coming.
