‘I took risks for him’ – Fr Mbaka finally breaks silence on Peter Obi [Video]

Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria, AMEN, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has spoken publicly about his past relationship with former Anambra State governor and Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, saying he took significant risks to support him during his impeachment ordeal.

Mbaka made the remarks during a church programme on Friday while responding to criticism from some supporters of Obi.

According to the cleric, he played a key role behind the scenes when Obi was impeached as governor of Anambra State, insisting that many of those who now publicly support the former governor were absent during that period.

Mbaka stated that he was not a problem to Obi and questioned claims that he had failed to support him.

The cleric also cited several individuals whom he said were witnesses to events surrounding Obi’s impeachment, including Chris Uba and Cletus Ibeto.

Mbaka maintained that his actions were motivated by his commitment to his people, stressing that he sees himself as “a solution, not a problem.”

Mbaka’s words: “Listen, when Peter Obi was impeached as a governor, Peter Obi is still alive, all the midnight movement made to gather the documents to bring him back, father Mbaka!

“How did I not help me? I’m not a problem to him. If he comes to bazaar and didn’t want to do anything, is it a problem?

“All I did for Peter, none of these people crying Obi, Obi…can’t do one out of hundred of what I did for Peter Obi.

“The risk I took for him when he was impeached as a governor, 99.9 per cent of those who were following him abandoned him.

“If the corpse starts smelling, we will know those that love the deceased when he was alive.

“Go and ask Chris Uba (Eselu), he is still alive. Ibeto is still alive. Let me just mention a few who were in the inner room where things happened.

“People will just be making mouth, talking what they don’t know. I mean a lot for my people. I love my people. I’m a solution not a problem.”
