Borno Pastor Claims CAN got N7bn to campaign for Jonathan not N6bn has Amechi Claimed

20th February:I reported here hat Amechi said N6bn was given to Pastors to campaign for Jonathan. Later Pastor Adeboye of RCCG asked Amechi to name the Pastors in question now Kallamu Dikwa, Borno based Pastor has said the money allegedly given to the pastors by the Presidency was N7bn and not N6bn as alleged by Amaechi, the governor of Rivers state and the money was given to CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria).

Dikwa, who happens to be the Executive Director of the Voice of Northern Christian Movement, said CAN got N7bn on January 26, 2015 and disbursed N3m each to state Chairmen of the CAN across the country.

Well the Presidency and CAN had denied this allegation. The Presidency said that Dikwa is an agent of the APC, the General Secretary of CAN, Rev. Musa Ayake, maintained that the allegation is incorrect.

However, Dikwa, said the CAN started threatening Christians in the state (Borno) to re-elect President Jonathan in upcoming election. In his words

“It was N7bn that was given to the CAN leadership by President Goodluck Jonathan. They (CAN) later disbursed N3m each to the state chairmen of the CAN. The money was handed over to the CAN leadership on 26th January, 2014.

“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 refused to vote for Jonathan. And the CAN officials are now campaigning that if Buhari emerges President he will islamise Nigeria; and that Prof. Yemi Osinbajo will resign soon after Buhari wins to give way for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to emerge Vice President.

“And at the same time, CAN is threatening Christians in Borno if they didn’t vote for Jonathan. And the same CAN continues to blackmail Prof. Yemi Osinbajo that Islamic world has bought Osinbajo with millions of dollars, all this is because of the N7bn bribery that they have received from Jonathan.”

But Ayake in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents in Ilorin on Thursday said,

“At no time did CAN collect money from Jonathan to preach against Buhari or to give the impression that Buhari wants to islamise Nigeria.”
Ayake added, “I do not think I will lower ourselves, our integrity and our positions to somebody who is fake, who called himself a pastor when he is not; a liar, somebody who does not even know his left from his right. I know the person, if I want to comment, I will be lowering myself and my integrity to such a thing. Please that person is not what he claims to be.

“What he said is a lie. It did not happen. It will not happen.
“He is a liar. We should not waste our time on him. He is not a pastor. He has never been a pastor. He is just a liar. If I should reply, I would be lowering myself. What he said is between him and his God. Let him know that when this life is over, we are going to stand before God to give an account of what we said or did in this life. Let him continue with his lies, God will catch up with him one day.”

Also, the Presidency said that Dikwa was making this allegation because he belonged to the APC.

Abati said,

“Is the pastor a member of the APC? He probably belongs to the APC. Since he is a member of the APC, he will echo, modify and amplify whatever Amaechi said.
“I think before you do anything, you should establish the political affiliation of that pastor.
“He must be a member of the APC. Otherwise, he will face his primary responsibility as a pastor.
“I have no doubt that the man is a member of the APC. As a member of the APC, he will say whatever he feels will advance the course of his party.”
