Governor Rotimi
Amaechi who is The Director-General of Buhari Campaign Organisation, has
disclosed that unnamed leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) paid a
hooping sum of N6 billion to Christian clerics to campaign against the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
The Governor of
Rivers State, expressed surprise that the compromised pastors were circulating
documents to Nigerians, alleging that the APC and its presidential candidate
would Islamize the entire country, if Buhari is elected as President during the
February 14 election.
The chairman of
Nigeria Governors’ Forum spoke on Tuesday at Emohua, the headquarters of Emohua
local government area of Rivers State, during the campaign of the APC
governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside.
Amaechi stressed
that Nigerians were too enlightened for an individual or a political party to Islamize
the whole country, asking the bribed clerics to return the money to the coffers
of the Federal Government.
He also said: “Some
pastors collected N6 billion and they are circulating documents and telling you
not to vote for an Hausa man, not to vote for a Muslim because 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
commercialized Jesus Christ. They should stop commercializing 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 collected money from PDP leaders to tell us lies. We shall chase
them away on behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Amaechi also stated
that the presidential election would be a referendum between him and President
Goodluck Jonathan.
“I told the
President (Dr. Jonathan) that the presidential election in Rivers State is a
referendum between him and me. I told him anywhere I go, I will show what I
have done. Let him show what he has done.”

People should stop making inflammatory statement against men of God. Men of God are supposed to be respected because they are Gods mouth piece to his people.Politicians should not use their position to incur the wrath of God upon themselves. If you think they collected N6b then come out with your facts plain.
ReplyDeleteThe so called people talking about men of God, have also refused to pay teachers in their state. yesterday a state school in rivers state was seen sending pupils away because they have not received their pay.
