God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned that pastors
collecting bribes from politicians risk the wrath of God.
The renowned cleric said this on his official Facebook page on
yesterday while reacting to allegations by the Rivers State
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that the Peoples Democratic Party
had bribed some pastors with N6bn to work against the All
Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, Maj.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)
However, Adeboye, said, “I read in the newspaper this morning
that one of the serving governors in Nigeria said that some
pastors in Nigeria collected N6bn from politicians for the
purpose of influencing their members to vote a certain
candidate in the coming elections.
“May I humbly request that if there be any pastor or pastors
who collected such money, they should please return such as
quickly as possible before the fire of the Almighty consumes
you.”
Amaechi, had on Tuesday, told his supporters not to be
deceived by pastors, whom he said, were campaigning
against Buhari because he was a Muslim
He had 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.”
