Can Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi be correct to say that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), bribed some Christian leaders with N6bn to campaign against the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.
It is imperative to state hear, that care should be expended by anyone and indeed Amaechi while making comments that touches on God's anointed.
If one is to make reference to the Bible, it said touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.
So making such a bogus claim without further proof may be inimical to the person of Amaechi and the opposition APC, including the bible itself.
To be specific, Amaechi maintained that the Christian leaders had been circulating documents to convince Nigerians that the APC and Buhari, would Islamise Nigeria if allowed to win the forthcoming poll.
The Rivers State governor, who is also the Director-General of Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation, the asked the pastors to desist from commercialising the Christian faith.
In the words of Amaechi, "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 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."
