2019 presidency: Mbaka shuns reporters after closed-door meeting with Buhari

Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry 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.

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.
