A Borno-based Pastor, Kallamu Musa-Dikwa, said on
Thursday that the money that was given to pastors by the
President was actually N7bn and not N6bn as alleged by
Amaechi, who doubles as the Director-General of the APC
Presidential Campaign Organisation.
Amaechi had alleged that unnamed leaders of the Peoples
Democratic Party paid N6bn to Christian clerics to
campaign against Buhari and the APC.
The governor’s allegation caused a stir among the Christian
clerics, with the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and the
Northern State Christian Elders Forum asking Amaechi to
name the church leaders, who collected the huge bribe.
But Musa-Dikwa, who is the Executive Director of the Voice
of Northern Christian Movement, told journalists in Kaduna
on Thursday that the said money was channelled through
the Christian Association of Nigeria.
He said the CAN got the said money(N7bn) on January 26,
2015 and disbursed N3m to each State Chairmen of the
CAN across the country.
Musa-Dikwa, who was an Associate Pastor with the E. Y.
N. Church, Farm Centre, Dikwa Road, Maiduguri, Borno
State, under Rev. Emmanuel Kwajihe between 2002 and
2004, said the CAN had started threatening Christians in the
state (Borno) that they must re-elect Jonathan in the
rescheduled election.
He said, “It was N7bn that was given to the CAN leadership
by President Goodluck Jonathan. They(CAN) later disbursed
N3m to the State Chairmen of the CAN.
“The money was handed over to the CAN Leadership on
26th January, 2014.”
“Actually, President Jonathan is using CAN President, and it
was the CAN President who collected the monies and
shared N3m to the CAN executives in each state.
“And some Pentecostal Bishops also collected their share.
Actually, the money is not N6bn, it is N7bn. This is what I
know. One of the CAN officials from Abuja told me that they
have collected the money. The corruption in CAN is terrible.
They are corrupting the body of Christ because of money.
“They are now threatening Christians in Borno State that
they will deal with anybody, who refuses to vote for
Jonathan. And the CAN officials are now campaigning that
if Buhari emerges President, he will Islamise Nigeria; and
that Osinbajo collected monies from Islamic world; and that
the same Osinbajo will resign soon after Buhari wins to give
way for Tinubu to emerge Vice President.”
Musa-Dikwa named some high-profile clerics, who had
benefitted from the controversial largesse to actualise the
re-election bid of Jonathan. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
