Pastors taking bribes from politicians risk God’s anger – Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned
that pastors collecting bribes from politicians risk
the wrath of God.
The renowned cleric said this on his official
Facebook page on Wednesday while reacting 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 (retd.)
However, Adeboye, said, “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.”
Amaechi, had on Tuesday, told his supporters not
to be deceived by pastors, whom he said, were
campaigning against Buhari because he was a
Muslim
He had said, “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 the Christian faith. You know what
Jesus Christ did in the temple? He chased them
away.”
