The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has descended on the
Director General of the Buhari
Campaign Organization and
Rivers State governor, Rotimi
Amaechi, over his claim that the
PDP offered N6 billion bribe to
some pastors to assist President
Goodluck Jonathan in the
February 14 election.
The PDP National Publicity
Secretary, Olisa Metuh, accused
the governor of lying.
Mr. Metuh, who stated this at a
press conference in Abuja on
Wednesday, also accused the
APC of conniving with the
Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to
disenfranchise non-indigenes in
APC-controlled states, especially
Lagos, by refusing to issue them
their Permanent Voter Cards,
PVCs.
Mr. Metuh said it was stunning
that the APC was trying to drag
religion into politics. He
described the claims by Mr.
Amaechi as shocking and
challenged him to name the
pastors that benefitted from the
alleged bribe as well as where
the money came from.
“We are shocked that APC
Campaign could impugn the
character of Pastors and I dare
say that this is ungodly; it is a
sin against God. We challenge
the DG of APC Campaign to state
the facts; the pastors involved
and where such huge sum of
money can come from.
