Controversial Catholic priest, Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka says contrary to
public opinion, his meeting with President Buhari at the state house in
December last year did not yield any financial gain for him as President
Buhari never gave him any money nor did he ask for any money. Mbaka who
was recently transferred from Christ the King Parish in Enugu state to
Our Lady Parish, Emene, a suburb of the state, said this while speaking
to newsmen at his new posting...
"When eventually I met Buhari when I went for prayers at Aso Rock, what I
demanded from him was good governance for Nigeria. I didn’t ask him to
give me one kobo. One kobo of Buhari has never entered my hand"he said
He also spoke on how his relationship with former President Goodluck
Jonathan and his wife Patience, went sour
"“So the case of Jonathan and the wife, God in heaven knew that apart
from the offertory the woman gave at the Altar, (which amount I knew), I
took that amount and put in the bag that one of the aides of the former
President brought (it was a small bag filled with dollars in
appreciation). But the Holy Spirit said, send back this money and I
returned the whole money plus the one she put as offertory. All of them
were returned back. There is no one kobo of Jonathan or Mrs Jonathan in
my hand. The Holy Spirit rejected all of them. When the saga was going
on, I put my hands on the altar, swore an oath that if I ever touched
Jonathan’s one kobo, may he win the election and that if I never and I
was being accused of it, he would fail the election. So, why would I
take money from Mrs. Jonathan, for what? If I need money from them, I
know what was offered me, but I don’t need that kind of money. At that
time, people were saying N5 million, but if I tell you what I was
offered, you will drop what you are holding. Two senators were there
when I returned the money; one of them, said if he was in my shoes, he
would take the money and be prepared to die. He said a normal man of God
could not return it and I said then, I was not normal. I left the money
there and came back. So, when they could not give me their number, they
asked Kennedy Opara to give me his number. So, I would call Kennedy
that we were praying for them to win the election. I did not prophesy
the day the woman came. I was praying for them and then on December 31,
the prophecy came undiluted, just like the prophecy of 2013 that
Nigerian oil boom time will turn to oil doom, that Jonathan should wake
up and diversify our economy, that in no distant time, our naira would
have a problem, our oil would fail in the market. The warning was for us
to maximise the boom time and wait for the doom period”he said
