A Borno-based Pastor, Kallamu Musa-Dikwa, who claimed that money given to pastors by President Goodluck Jonathan was actually N7 billion and not N6 billion as alleged by Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, on Tuesday, March 3, has been invited by the Department of State Services (DSS).
In a text message, Dikwa said he has been invited by the DSS and he’s on his way to Abuja. Musa-Dikwa’s allegation had caused a stir among the Christian clerics, with the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and the Northern State Christian Elders Forum asking him to name the church leaders, who collected the huge bribe.
It would be recalled that Musa-Dikwa, who is the executive director of the Voice of Northern Christian Movement, told journalists in Kaduna about two weeks ago that the said money was channelled through the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN).
He claimed that CAN got the funds on January 26, 2015 and disbursed N3m to each State Chairmen of the CAN across the country.
Musa-Dikwa also said that CAN have started threatening Christians in the Borno that they must re-elect Jonathan in the rescheduled election.
“It was N7bn that was given to the CAN leadership by President Goodluck Jonathan.CAN later disbursed N3m to the State Chairmen of the CAN. The money was handed over to the CAN Leadership on 26th January, 2015. Actually, President Jonathan is using CAN President, and it was the CAN President who collected the monies and shared N3m to the CAN executives in each state. And some Pentecostal Bishops also collected their share.”
“Actually, the money is not N6bn, it is N7bn. 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 refuses to vote for Jonathan. And the CAN officials are now campaigning that if Buhari emerges President, he will Islamise Nigeria; and that Osinbajo collected monies from Islamic world; and that the same Osinbajo will resign soon after Buhari wins to give way for Tinubu to emerge Vice President,” Musa-Dikwa alleged.
He also named some high-profile clerics, who had benefitted from the controversial largesse to actualise the re-election bid of Jonathan.
