PDP gave pastors N6bn to campaign against Buhari – Amaechi

Rivers State Governor, Rotimi
Amaechi, has alleged that the
Peoples Democratic Party bribed
some Christian religious leaders
with N6bn to campaign against
the All Progressives Congress and
its presidential candidate, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
Amaechi said that the religious
leaders had been circulating
documents to convince Nigerians
that the APC and Buhari would
islamise Nigeria if voted into power
on February 14.
He told a crowd at the state APC
governorship rally in Emohua that
the PDP ought to know that
Nigerians were too enlightened for
any political party or an individual
to make the country a Muslim
nation.
The governor, who is also the
Director-General of Buhari
Presidential Campaign
Organisation, therefore advised the
religious leaders, whom he accused
of commercialising the Christian
faith, to return the bribe money to
the Federal Government.
He said, “Some pastors collected
N6bn and they are circulating
document and telling you not to
vote for an Hausa man; not to vote
for a Muslim; that they want to
Islamise Nigeria. Tell them to
return our N6bn.
“They gave them N6bn; they should
return it to the Federal Government
coffers. They will tell you that
Buhari wants to Islamise 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 Islamise Nigeria; they
have commercialised Jesus Christ.
They should stop commercialising
the Christian faith. You know what
Jesus Christ did in the temple? He
chased them away.
“We shall chase away those pastors
who have collected money from
the PDP to tell us lies. We shall
chase them away on behalf of
Christ.”
The governor described the
election in the state as a
referendum between him and
President Goodluck Jonathan,
whom he challenged to show
Rivers people what he had done for
them.
“I told the President that the
election in Rivers State is a
referendum between him and
myself. I told him anywhere I go, I
will show what I have done. Let him
show what he has done,” Amaechi
stressed.
The national leadership of the PDP
described the allegation by
Amaechi as a “crime against God.”
“It is also a crime to the Church and
Christianity. It is an insult on
Christianity. To say that
pastors are paid to support the
President is height of recklessness.
Such allegation is despicable and
should be condemned. There was
nothing like that from us as a party
and there was nothing like that
from our candidate,” its National
Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh,
added.
Reacting, the state Assistant
Publicity Secretary of the PDP,
Samuel Nwanosike, challenged
Amaechi, to name the pastors that
collected the N6bn.
Nwanosike argued that the
allegation was an indication that
the governor had conceded defeat
to Jonathan.
He said, “It shows clearly that
Governor Amaechi has conceded
defeat and that Dr. Jonathan has
what it takes to continue as the
President of this country.”
In his remark at the rally, the APC
governorship candidate in the
state, Dakuku Peterside, said that
if voted into power on February 28,
he would complete all projects
embarked upon by the Amaechi
government.
The candidate also promised to
combat insecurity in the
communities.
