PDP PAID N6 billion TO PASTORS TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST BUHARI---Rivers state governor said.

The rivers state governor has accused the PDP of giving some pastors a sum of N6 billion to campaign against the APC candidate . He further said that the intention of giving out this money is to instigate the masses against Buhari, making it clear that the PDP alleged that the APC will turn Nigeria to islamic nation if given the opportunity to rule. HIS STATEMENTS:

He 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 temple? He chased them away.

“We shall chase away those pastors who have collected money from the PDP to tell us lies. We shall chase them away on behalf of Christ.” 

       

But the national leadership of the PDP described the allegation by Amaechi as a “crime against God.”

“It is also a crime to the Church and Christianity. It is an insult on Christianity.                To say that pastors are paid to support the President is height of recklessness. Such allegation is despicable and should be condemned. There was nothing like that from us as a party and there was nothing like that from our candidate,” its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, added.
