Alleged N6bn bribe: Amaechi needs repentance – Abati

The Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, has replied Governor of Rivers State and the Director-General, Buhari Presidential Campaign organisation, Rotimi Amaechi, on his recent claim that the president bribed some clerics with N6bn to campaign against Buhari.

The presidential aide advised Amaechi to repent and ‘change’ his ways of lying against God’s annointed.

Abati posted on his Facebook page that “This is APC Propaganda, Yes. But I don’t think Christians will accept this grievous allegation that their Pastors are being bribed without proof… these guys need to repent and “CHANGE” their ways!”.

DAILYPOST reports that Amaechi, had on Tuesday, at Rivers State Governorship campaign rally, in Emohua Local Government Area, accused some church leaders of taking N6 billion bribe from PDP to campaign against Buhari.

He said: “Some pastors collected N6 billion and they are circulating documents and telling you not to vote for an Hausa man; not to vote for a Muslim; that they want to Islamize 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 Islamize 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 Islamize 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”.
