Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State in his series of outbursts has accused Top Christian Leaders in the country of receiving a bribe of N6billion to campaign against the All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.
Amaechi made this accusation in a rally in Emohua LGA of Rivers state whilst urging the crowd to revolt against the church leaders and pastors who allegedly took the bribe in his words.
Mr. Amaechi said the bribe sum was to ensure the Christian leaders promote propaganda to the effect the APC and Mr. Buhari would Islamise Nigeria if elected in the forthcoming 2015 elections and that the Church is fast becoming an enterprise.
“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.”
“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.”
Amaechi also declared those Pastors he alleged to have received the bribe ostracized from the brethren. he said: “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.”culled
