365Daily – The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, had admitted that it is true that he went to see President Muhammadu Buhari with three contractors.

He, however, added that the motive for taking them to him was to address security challenges in the country.

Presidential media aide, Garba Shehu, recently accused Fr. Mbaka, who supported Buhari’s candidacy in 2015 and 2019 elections, of turning against him and calling for his resignation because his request for contracts was not acceded to.

Reacting to the accusation, Mbaka explained that the contractors who were referred to were security experts that he had no relationship with.

Mbaka 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.”

He further said, “I am happy that the truth is 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.”
