The bishop made this accusation against Amaechi who is also
the Rivers State Governor in response to the allegations he made against
pastors who he accused of collecting N6 billion from the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) to campaign against the presidential candidate of APC, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari.
To support his claim that Amaechi was being hypocritical
concerning the allegation he levelled against pastors, Isong who spoke at the
headquarters of his church, the Christian Central Chapel International (CCCI) ,
said: “My first answer to that will be that the governor that said that did not
mention names. Pastor (Enoch) Adeboye himself on the 4th of February at The Redeemed
Evangelical Mission (TREM) headquarters in Lagos, in front of 6,000 pastors
challenged that whoever made the allegations should mention names. Up till
today we have not heard the names of whoever collected the N6 billion to share
to the pastors.
Number two point is that: If N6 billion was shared to
pastors to mobilise Christians for the elections, you should know that people
like Adeboye, whom I call one of the most important Christians in
Nigeria, who
has the largest church would have been aware, and would have advised against
it.
”Again, I in Cross River State, being the number one Pentecostal
and as chairman of PFN for over eight years now, I have not also collected one
kobo. By these, talking about Adeboye at the national and I at the state here,
I believe this N6 billion which was given in the dream has not yet been
transferred to physical cash.
”My other point is that the governor that alleged this N6
billion, in October 2014 gathered 500 pastors at Presidential Hotel Port
Harcourt and also gave each of them money. I can give you three account numbers
and names of those who benefitted from his own money which he gave to those
pastors.
