Pastors took N6bn bribe to campaign against Buhari —Amaechi
Presidential Campaign organisation, Governor Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State, has accused some church
leaders of taking N6 billion bribe from the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, to campaign against the
presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress,
APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).
Governor Amaechi, at APC's governorship campaign
rally yesterday, in Emohua Local Government Area,
Rivers State, said already, the religious leaders were
allegedly distributing leaflets all over that Buhari had
plans to Islamize the country if elected.
Amaechi called on the pastors to return the alleged
bribe collected from the PDP.
He said: "Som pastors collected N6 billion and they are circulating documents and telling you not to vote for an Hausaman; not to vote for a Muslim; that they want to Islamize Nigeria.
Tell them to return our N6 billion. "They gave them N6 billion. They should return it to
the Federal Government coffers. They will tell you
that Buhari wants to Islamize Nigeria; tell them we
are too educated. I am a Catholic, but no Catholic
priest has told me that story right now in the Catholic
Church because, I will ask him how.
"If any pastor tells you that, tell him to return the
money. Nobody can Islamize Nigeria. They have
commercialised Jesus Christ. They should stop
commercialising Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and
Saviour.
"You know what Jesus Christ did in the temple, he
chased them away. We shall chase away those
pastors who have collected money from PDP to tell
us lies. We shall chase them away on behalf of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
"I told the President that the election in Rivers State is
a referendum between him and me. I told him
anywhere I will go, I will show what I have done. Let
him show what he has done."
