So Goodluck Jonathan Paid Pastors?

After the 2015 election, there were stories making the rumor mills that the then President, Goodluck Jonathan paid some pastors to secure victory at the polls.
Pastor Tunde Bakare
Well, one pastor has confessed!
In an interview with an Abuja magazine, THE INTERVIEW, Popular pastor, Tunde Bakare said he was offered money by Goodluck Jonathan and his aides.

 It would be recalled that Tunde Bakare was the running mate of President Buhari during the 2011 elections which Buhari lost to GEJ.

In the interview, Bakare said after a meeting with President Jonathan a former minister in charge of the Niger Delta, Godsday Orubebe, approached him and gave him some cash, which he turned down.

He also said Mr. Orubebe sent him cow for Christmas which he ordered to be killed for the staff.

Pastor Bakare who said all pastors that received one gift or the other from President Jonathan to speak out now said "I don’t know if any of those allegations were true, but I have seen enough to begin to think that they were not able to use our overwhelming influence. If you have benefited from evil, you cannot talk about it, nor criticize it. Let everyone declare what he has received"
