Bribery of the highest order.... Jonathan bribed pastors with N7bn, not N6bn – Cleric

More facts appear to be emerging on the allegation by Rivers State
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that President Goodluck Jonathan gave
pastors across the country N6bn to vote against the Presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari(retd.), in the presidential election.
A Borno-based Pastor, Kallamu Musa-Dikwa, said on Thursday that the
money that was given to pastors by the President was actually N7bn and
not N6bn as alleged by Amaechi, who doubles as the Director-General of
the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation.
Amaechi had alleged that unnamed leaders of the Peoples Democratic
Party paid N6bn to Christian clerics to campaign against Buhari and
the APC.
The governor's allegation caused a stir among the Christian clerics,
with the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and the Northern State
Christian Elders Forum asking Amaechi to name the church leaders, who
collected the huge bribe.
But Musa-Dikwa, who is the Executive Director of the Voice of Northern
Christian Movement, told journalists in Kaduna on Thursday that the
said money was channelled through the Christian Association of
Nigeria.
He said the CAN got the said money(N7bn) on January 26, 2015 and
disbursed N3m to each State Chairmen of the CAN across the country.
Musa-Dikwa, who was an Associate Pastor with the E. Y. N. Church, Farm
Centre, Dikwa Road, Maiduguri, Borno State, under Rev. Emmanuel
Kwajihe between 2002 and 2004, said the CAN had started threatening
Christians in the state (Borno) that they must re-elect Jonathan in
the rescheduled election.
He said, "It was N7bn that was given to the CAN leadership by
President Goodluck Jonathan. They(CAN) later disbursed N3m to the
State Chairmen of the CAN.

"The money was handed over to the CAN Leadership on 26th January, 2015."
"Actually, President Jonathan is using CAN President, and it was the
CAN President who collected the monies and shared N3m to the CAN
executives in each state.
"And some Pentecostal Bishops also collected their share. Actually,
the money is not N6bn, it is N7bn. This is what I know. One of the CAN
officials from Abuja told me that they have collected the money. The
corruption in CAN is terrible. They are corrupting the body of Christ
because of money.
"They are now threatening Christians in Borno State that they will
deal with anybody, who refuses to vote for Jonathan. And the CAN
officials are now campaigning that if Buhari emerges President, he
will Islamise Nigeria; and that Osinbajo collected monies from Islamic
world; and that the same Osinbajo will resign soon after Buhari wins
to give way for Tinubu to emerge Vice President."
Musa-Dikwa named some high-profile clerics, who had benefitted from
the controversial largesse to actualise the re-election bid of
Jonathan.
