Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry had a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday and most Nigerians were very expectant to know the details of the meeting which they believe would be a very important one in view of the personality of Mbaka and the time of his visit to the Aso Villa as elections are around the corner.
However, Mbaka did not speak to journalists after his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday. President Buhari met behind closed doors with Mbaka at the State House, Abuja which many thought it might have to do with the state of the Nation and the crucial elections that are approaching.
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that Mbaka, who came into the villa in a private maroon BMW car, was accompanied by a lady. The cleric, according to NAN, did not disclose the outcome of the meeting between him and the president, which lasted about 35 minutes. Mbaka, who did not speak to newsmen after the meeting, was once quoted as saying that “President Buhari is change, but former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is `bureau de change’.”
Abubakar is the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming general elections.
Mbaka was also recently quoted in the social media as calling on Buhari to effect changes in his leadership style to cushion the hardships experienced by citizens.
“So let the will of God be done in Nigeria. It is like what I have been saying Buhari change or you will be changed,’’ he said while addressing members of his Adoration Ministry.
However, Mbaka, during one of his sermons, predicted electoral victory for the president in the forthcoming general elections as he did in 2015.
Recall that Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, had insisted that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Peter Obi, will lose the 2019 election if they remained stingy to God, Eagle Online had reported.
Mbaka said this in response to criticisms of his outburst that Abubakar and Obi will lose the 2019 election as the former Governor of Anambra State failed to announce a donation during the harvest and bazaar celebration of the church.
Speaking in a new video posted on Youtube by Dave Partner, Mbaka said: “There are some people who are ingrates.
“These are people from the kingdom of succubus and Incubus.
“I want to tell you that all these things are caused by jealousy and envy.
“They are not fighting Mbaka for anything wrong.
“Everyone who came was blessed but they turned it against me, saying I am after money.
“God deserves money.
“If you don’t want to bring your own in your stinginess, hold it.
“I will give God all that I have and even if anybody wants to join them, you’re free to join them.
“Where God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are, there Fr. Mbaka will be.
“I will build this place for the church.
“Whoever felt insulted, I apologise.
“But I didn’t come to your house.
“It was you who came for the bazaar.”
Mbaka, who said those fighting him were fighting God, told his congregation that any politician who had donated money to his ministry was free to send his or her bank account number and he would gladly return it.
He said: “As for me, I am in high spirits.
“I want to assure you, those who are thinking that it is their money we will use to build this ministry, before the end of tomorrow, I will send all their monies into their accounts.”
On why he demanded money from Obi publicly, Mbaka said he wanted the process of donation to be open and transparent so that no one would accuse him of diverting funds.
He said every person who made a donation on the day the bazaar held did so publicly.
He said: “We do it outside, publicly because if I am silent, rumours will begin to spread that someone gave me $10 million and why did Mbaka keep quiet?
“They will abuse me even if I am silent because anytime they want to attack this ministry, they will start somewhere.
“If I am silent they will attack, if I talk, they will attack it.
“And don’t forget that the liturgy was not tampered with.
“I finished the mass and even removed my priestly attire.
“No one can fault me on that.”
