The General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God,
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned
that pastors collecting bribes from
politicians risk the wrath of God.
The renowned cleric said this on his
official Facebook page on
Wednesday while reacting to
allegations by the Rivers State
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that the
Peoples Democratic Party had
bribed some pastors with N6bn to
work against the All Progressives
Congress and its presidential
candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.)
However, Adeboye, said, “I read in
the newspaper this morning that
one of the serving governors in
Nigeria said that some pastors in
Nigeria collected N6bn from
politicians for the purpose of
influencing their members to vote
a certain candidate in the coming
elections.
“May I humbly request that if there
be any pastor or pastors who
collected such money, they should
please return such as quickly as
possible before the fire of the
Almighty consumes you.”
Amaechi, had on Tuesday, told his
supporters not to be deceived by
pastors, whom he said, were
campaigning against Buhari
because he was a Muslim
He had 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
