Rivers
State governor, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, has alleged that the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) bribed some Christian leaders with N6 billion to campaign against
the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari.
Amaechi,
who doubles as the Director-General of Buhari Presidential Campaign
Organisation, made the allegation while speaking at the APC governorship rally
held at Emohua, in Emohua Local Government Area of the state, on Tuesday.
He
accused the alleged compromised religious leaders of circulating documents to
Nigerians, alleging that APC and Buhari would Islamise the entire country if
elected into power during the forthcoming election.
He,
however, said Nigerians were too enlightened for an individual or a political
party to Islamise the whole country and advised the affected pastors to return
the money to the coffers of the Federal Government.
“Some
pastors collected N6 billion 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 N6 billion.
“They
gave them N6 billion; 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,” he said.
