PDP gave pastors N6bn bribe to attack APC -Amaechi

Ahead of the general elections, the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party bribed some
Christian leaders with N6bn to campaign against the All Progressives
Congress and its presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari(retd.).
Amaechi explained that the Christian leaders had been circulating
documents to convince Nigerians that the APC and Buhari would Islamise
Nigeria if allowed to win the forthcoming poll.
Speaking at the Rivers APC governorship rally in Emohua Local
Government Area, the state governor maintained that Nigerians were too
enlightened for any political party or an individual to change Nigeria
to a Muslim country.
Calling on the religious leaders to return the money given to them to
the Federal Government, Amaechi, who is the Director-General of Buhari
Presidential Campaign Organisation, urged the pastors to stop
commercialising the Christian faith.
The governor added, "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 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."
The governor, however, described the elections in the state as a
referendum between him and President Goodluck Jonathan, calling on the
President to show what he had done for the people of the state.
"I told the President that the 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," Amaechi siad.
