N6 Billion Bribe :Adeboye cautions Pastors from collecting Bribe from Politicians

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned pastors against collecting bribes from politicians, asserting that clerics who do so risk the wrath of God.

The respected clergyman declared this on Wednesday through his official Facebook page in response 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 (rtd)

According to Adeboye, “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.”

Global Reporters had reported on Tuesday that the Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, advised his supporters not to be deceived by pastors, whom he said, were campaigning against Buhari because he was a Muslim.

Amaechi categorically alleged that “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.”
