Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka and President Muhammadu Buhari.

Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka and founder of the Adoration Ministries Enugu (AMEN) , has vowed that his visit to Aso Rock did not yield any financial gratification.

Mbaka, was recently transferred from Christ The King Parish to Our Lady Parish in Emene, a suburb of Enugu, said the only thing he demanded from President Muhammadu Buhari was good governance.

“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”, the priest told journalists.

He was hosted by the President at the Villa on December 18, 2016.

Prior to the 2015 presidential election, Mbaka had told his congregation that former president Goodluck Jonathan would lose the election
