According to them, they were acting by divine intervention from God who told them that Buhari would be the next president of Nigeria, pointing out that they were not bribed by anybody to support Buhari, PM News reports.
The pastors under the aegis of Christians for Governance, Pastors For Change have also declared seven days praying and fasting for God to grant the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate victory at the poll.
The pastors, drawn from various churches, such as the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Anglican, Orthodox, among others have openly endorsed Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, his running mate at a news conference in Ikeja, Lagos.
Addressing the news conference, Bishop Kayode Williams, National Coordinator, Christians for Good Governance, said: “We want to observe seven days of special prayer on the seven mountains in the Southwest political zones comprising six states to pray for the victory of Buhari and Osinbajo in the 28 March presidential election.
“We are using this opportunity to call on all pastors who believe that the time has surely come for change in Nigeria to exhort, mobilise, instruct and direct all our members from our churches, numbering 186,000 churches in the Southwest zone to adhere to this divine instruction from God.
“We shall intensify our intercessory prayers to God so that there will be peace in the nation and that the election will be free, transparent and peaceful. We are asking our archbishops, evangelists, elders, deacons and deaconesses to join hands and make sure that the prayer programme is very successful.”
He noted that the present leadership had failed the nation, adding that Nigerians had hoped for improvement in various sectors but nothing has been done and that is why the group is calling for change.
“No one can do the same thing and expect different result. Nigerians must therefore get a change in baton. It appears that many people at the top do not feel what an ordinary Nigerian feels: No job, no money, no light, health problem, sorrow and frustration everyday due to massive corruption at the top. All these must change. Nigerians deserve good life in the midst of all the resources that God has endowed us with,” Williams stated.
Speaking on the N7 billion bribery allegation against the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), he denied knowledge of any money collected, but added that every rumour has an element of truth.
The movement is being supported by Rev. Moses Iloh, Archbishop Magnus Atilade, Ayo Opadokun and many other bigwigs in Christendom.
In February 2015, the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, had alleged that the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) bribed some Christian leaders with N6bnto campaign against Buhari. This was trailed by controversies. A pastor named Kallamu Musa Dikwa, who claimed to be the Executive Director, Voice of Northern Christian Movement, also alleged that some pastors received the sum of N 7 billion,and not N 6 billion said by Gov Amaechi.
CAN however debunked these allegations, saying it is a complete lie and just one of the many evil plots to dent the image of CAN’s leadership as well as to rubbish its integrity.

Sometimes your ewedu and amala infested brain doesn't think straight.

APC sweeping people with their broom stick.

Wizard Broom Stick you mean!! lol!

Hmn! So Babangida did and handed over to Buhari to rule....... Nothing when we no go hear. Nobody knew Babangida that much until he overthrew Buhari......Or meaning Babangida was Buhari friends then and hated to rule so handed over to Buhari and later succeeded him in a coup....and he Buhari dint think it to be something evil to unseat a democratically elected government......he would simply have called back in Alh. Shehu Shagari back to seat and not occupy until he was kicked out the same way he came in........STOP toying with our minds everyone knows Buhari oust a democratically elected government to rule........I reserve my comment until he loses again..

Mr. Buhari said he was not ready to participate in the presidential debate with President Goodluck Jonathan, standing for re-election as the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party.

He argued that there is no basis for debate since the record of the PDP and Mr. Jonathan in government is public knowledge.

I see this as an arrogant statement.....in that case he could just have showed up to tell us what he has to offer as we haven't not forgotten incidence like this

True talk!!!

LocalChamp:
Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has revealed that 2,123 policemen provided security for President Goodluck Jonathan while armed robbers raided a bank in Lekki, Lagos last week.

Fashola, who spoke at the Agricultural Food Value Chain held in Agege area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Tuesday said when the president came to Lagos last Thursday, while citizens were being robbed, the president was protected by 2, 123 security personnel.

“Let me be very clear, the president is entitled to every protection, he’s our president, but the question to ask is that; when you were being traumatised yesterday, where were these 2,123 men? Because you are also entitled to be protected. The reason why the president gets all that protection is so that he can protect all of us,” he said.

The governor also decried Monday’s protest march for Jonathan in Lagos by members of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC and other pro-Jonathan groups in which the protesters terrorised Lagosians while brandishing dangerous weapons.

“Yesterday, they also showed the difference between us when the supporters of the PDP and President Jonathan came out. You know on 7th of March this year, just about a week ago, the APC held a solidarity rally in Lagos. Did anybody attack you on that day? So, yesterday, they held their own, but what I heard, because I received telephone calls and text messages from residents who explained to me, I received emails.

“I am sorry for the pain and trauma they put you through because residents continuously complained yesterday that they were traumatised by those people who supposedly were carrying out a rally in support of the president and in support of their gubernatorial candidate, just kidding.

“So instead of canvassing for your votes and showing you why their service record is better, they were showing you knives, cutlass and dangerous weapons. Some residents phoned to say that they were banging on their cars. Let me remind all of us, that the work of a party and a government is to protect citizens and not to terrorize them,” he stated.

Fashola said for those who still said that they did not know what the issues in these elections were, Monday’s event brought one issue sharply in focus, which he said was the issue of security.

He stated that the peace and safety that “all of you have enjoyed for eight years is now at risk. You have seen the kind of people who support the other party on Monday, you have seen the kind of people who support their presidential and gubernatorial candidate, those are the people that you will see around them. Monday’s experience, may God forbid it, would be what you would experience till 2019.

“Unless you come out massively on March 28 and on April 11, that is the only way that God would forbid that kind of thing from continuing in Lagos. It is your vote that would change it. A vote for General Buhari would put to end this kind of abuse of state power. A vote for Ambode will continue the security that we have built and protected you for the past eight years.

He GEJ remains the president of Nigeria for crying out loud!!!!

I don't belivit.
He sure cannot tolerate half the freedom of speech we express now.
Even a baby says his views in GEJ government without getting jailed for it.......that's democracy!
My pick remains GEJ as per freedom of speech and life.

Chiaka:


Wike is a real gentle man!! Don't spoil him please. Lots of people like him in Rivers state unlike Ameachi, Rivers state people see Wike more likely to Manage Rivers State far better than Ameachi. Wike is very popular in Rivers State for good.

stronger:
Did you say Wike is a gentleman? Wait let me laugh!

Oya go and ask around what Wike did when he was Chairman of Obio-Aakpor LGA! Then come back, let's talk.
Do you think people accusing him of being a thug don't know what they are saying? Why him? Please show me ONE PDP supporter who calls Dakuku a thug! Just ONE please!! Anyone who will vote Wike will do that just to spite Amaechi or because Wike is GEJ's boy!

But the VAST MAJORITY of rivers people will vote DAKUKU for GOVERNOR!! Take this to the bank! And GEJ will also win Rivers state! You see i am being realistic! GMB can't win Rivers state.

So, yes, WIKE IS A THUG! Dakuku is a fine Gentleman who will win the gubernatorial elections convincingly! Just make it free and fair!!

Believe what you like and leave me to mine. I have listened to Wike speak and he is a perfect gentle man fit to be a governor.
Like I said we must not think alike.

shachris03:
GEJ and wike has turned rivers into a warfront. Everyday people are dying in rivers state. The worst is the police. pure daylight assassination by pdp members is tagged reprisal attack by cult groups while APC members are arrested for doing nothing.

one thing I know for sure is that wicked wike will never rule rivers state.

Don't know any one close to be in Rivers state who has died because of politics. People just writing and saying all sorts while people living in the state are not experiencing any of those. Whereas more people are coming into Rivers state on daily basis. Tired of so much false headlines

stronger:
People will start accusing Amaechi of raising unnecessary alarm! LOL!!

How many people here know WIKE??!! Okay, not many! Ask the closest Rivers person to you about Wike's violent history! The main reason Rivers people will NOT vote Wike is because he is a THUG!! And because of Dame!

So you think the same people that disrupted the okrika rally many times with guns are incapable of what Amaechi says? okay. I hear you

Wike is a real gentle man!! Don't spoil him please. Lots of people like him in Rivers state unlike Ameachi, Rivers state people see Wike more likely to Manage Rivers State far better than Ameachi. Wike is very popular in Rivers State for good.

hopilo:
Politicians can do anything to prove a point, Ameachi is more interested in being in Buhari"s cabinet than winning the governorship seat for Dakuku Peterside. My advise to Peterside is watch your back, your man Ameachi might kill you to paint PDP, PEJ and Wike in bad light.

Well said Bros!! Dakuku beware, Ameachi is a real suspect. True talk!! Don't see him campaigning much for Dakuku but he is more passionate about campaigning for Buhari since his tenure is ending. He is now nursing to hold a better position should Buhari win. Is like Dakuku is following him much lately. This my be his plan for dakuku which he will hang on PDP should it happen.

chrisxxx:
Police please I am calling on you people to protect Dakuku from Amaechi plans. Amaechi can go to any length to perpetrate his plans.

Bros well said. This might be Ameachi's Plan against Dakuku, now wanting to hang it on PDP. Is like Dakuku is drifting from being his boy after seeing the hand writing on the wall. This might be Ameachi's Plan. Dakuku beware!!!

http://www.punchng.com/news/amaechi-alleges-plot-to-assassinate-peterside-2/

This News is for sure false!!!!. One of the numerous false claims by Ameachi against PDP.......he is already a loser!!! one of the ways he tries to be on news paper headlines is false claims. Mtchew!! Never saying anything productive.....

tmodeltoluene:
The health status of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, has been generating a lot of controversies in recent times.
For the first time since the controversy started, his wife, Aisha Buhari has opened up about her husband’s health status.

Aisha, who spoke to The Guardian at the Westminster Plaza Hotel, London on Saturday night, after APC team’s interactive reception with Nigerians in the diaspora, said her husband was hale and hearty.

She debunked reports making round that her husband is ill and was in London for health reasons.
When asked if her husband was being hospitalized, she replied: “He’s home, well and sound.

“No, he’s just come here to rest. He’s just here to have a rest, at least few days rest, before he goes back to the business.”
Following Buhari’s visit to London, rumours started spreading that he was sick and had travelled for health reasons.
Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has insisted that Buhari is sick, calling on him to swear by the Holy Quran that he didn’t visit the United Kingdom for medical treatment.
The APC presidential candidate had denied the reports about him visiting a London hospital to address his health problems saying they were false.

truthispainful:
A pan-Igbo group based in Lagos, Association for the Defence of Igbo Interests, has urged all Igbo across the state not to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party.

The PDP had said it was banking on the votes of the Igbo and non-indigenes in order to win the governorship election in Lagos State.

Similarly, the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, had on Tuesday, visited the Ladipo auto spare part market, Ladipo, where he described the All Progressives Congress-led state government as being anti-Igbo. Ladipo market has a large population of Igbo traders.

However, the Igbo group, led by its Coordinator, Prof. Chris Nwokobia; and its Secretary, Dr. Harris Chuma, said it would be wrong of the Igbo to be used as a tool by the PDP to take over Lagos.

Nwokobia recalled that the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has said voting for PDP in Lagos is against the wishes of the Yoruba and the gods.

Nwokobia, who addressed hundreds of Igbo people and journalists in Lagos on Wednesday, said the APC had not marginalised the Igbo in anyway.

He said, “It is better for the Ndigbo in Lagos to work with those they know than to plan a deal with total strangers. The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, has told all Lagosians that the PPD should not be voted for in Lagos.

“The Igbo in Lagos should listen to him as a mark of respect. The PDP has devastated Yoruba land since 1999 from Ogun to Oyo, from Ondo to Ekiti and to Osun. The PDP has devastated Nigeria in the past 16 years and made the country a laughing stock in the comity of nations.

“The Yoruba see the PDP as a virus. That is why they formed an alliance with the North to stop the PDP.

“If the Igbo make the mistake of investing in a dying horse by voting the PDP at a time other Nigerians are rejecting it for its 16 wasteful years in power, it will neither affect the electoral choice of Lagosians nor make any positive difference for Igbo.

“It will rather worsen their woes in Nigeria especially in Lagos where they coexist and compete favourably with other Nigerians. Igbo be warned!”

Nwokobia said the state government had done more for Igbos than some state governors in the South-East.

He said one of the most sensitive positions in Fashola’s cabinet was being held by an Igbo while there are over 500 Igbos in the state civil service.

Those few are the ones who have decided not to vote GEJ so make them talk for themselves, majority are joining in the larger Nigerians to vote GEJ

icebeatz:
You are obviously the only person with power supply in lagos or fuel for gen in lagos.
I have neither.

You made this communication with either a mobile phone or laptop. How did you get it charged!!! I just want to know , nothing more

francizy:
This is pure bullshit!

How much are other states generating internally compared to Lagos state? How much is Akwa Ibom state generating and check the development of that state.

You people can hype the shît out of Lagos state. Local government roads are death traps but we only see PDP's woes..

Lagos was a well planned beautiful and thriving city before even Fashola/Tinunbu became governors,
remember that Lagos was a former Nigerian capital, before Abuja.
So most of its structures and lay out have been developed long before
Tinubu/Fashola became governors. I commend Fashola for cleaning up Lagos and planting
flowers all over again, it made the beauty of Lagos come out, ones more!..........That's
why Fashola uses the 'Eko oni baje' Slogan, like trying to return Lagos to the good old beautiful days.

WisdomFlakes:
Come, you are wasting your time trying to reason with these fellas. They are ethnic supremacists from a particular ethnic group, with the exception of barcanista. They are cyber thugs who have been pre-programmed to irrationally hate anything Yoruba, APC, Buhari, Osinbajo, Asiwaju, Fashola, etc.

You simply can't reason with them so don't hold your breath bro.

I don't like when people mention tribe. We are talking about a person and not tribe. There are lots of Yoruba Men/women who are doing it right. So are people of other tribes doing things right. Lets reason outside tribes/Religion......

talktimi:
Tinubu made all his money working for Mobil. You people are just jealous tongue

Indeed!!!

talktimi:
Tinubu made all his money working for Mobil. You people are just jealous

Indeed!!!

He can hardly own any of those with Mobil Salary

Sodams:
Come, let us reason together.

If Tinubu has milked Lagos dry, how come its still the best state and role model to other states all over Nigeria.?

Lagos was a well planned beautiful and thriving city before even Fashola/Tinunbu became governors, remember that Lagos was a former Nigerian capital, before Abuja.

atbu1983:
u are d greatest fool who lacks d ability to comprehend. My position is clear. I said PDP and APC are made up of corrupt politicians. However since we must choose between d two, we have to choose APC because I consider it less corrupt and more progressive when compared to PDP.

For the fact that APC shouts about corruption they shouldn't be found wanting either..........with the small power see what they have gathered for themselves, am only left to wonder what will happen if they gain absolute power...........Bros I don't want this to happen!

atbu1983:
I watched it. AIT is only telling us what lagosians already know about Tinubu infrastructural development of lagos at d same time making money 4 himself. Though he took advantage of it to enrich himself, every lagosian is aware that Lagos also benefit greatly from it. Tinubu kind of corruption is far better than that of Ibori, lucky igbinedion, Goodluck Jonathan and PDP.

We are not saying APC is made up of saint. We are only saying when you compare APC to PDP, APC is a saint. Since we must choose between d two. , we have to choose d less evil one.

That is why we are asking for Buhari to be our president in 2015. Because with Buhari, corruption will be reduced.

March4Buhari
vote Buhari

So now its no more about change and corruption right?? loL! lol!
