The presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi has challenged people spreading fake report that he gave N2 billion bribe to members of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN to gain their support. The allegation was made by a pastor. The alleged bribed flooded the social media space on Sunday, with some stakeholders of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, mocking Obi.
 
Reacting, Obi debunked the report saying it is false. Spokesperson of the Tinubu Shettima campaign council, Festus Keyamo and other APC stalwarts tweeted the allegation on Sunday. The development followed an alleged petition reportedly written by one Pastor Frank Onwumere and addressed to the CAN President, questioning why the alleged N2bn was shared by some churches, while others were excluded.
 
Reacting, the CAN National President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh in a swift statement on Sunday said the organization did not receive any money from the presidential candidate. He vowed to find the source of the petition and take proper action. Speaking on the matter, the former Anambra governor, in an interview with Channels TV on Monday, said he does not even have N2bn to give anybody.
 
He challenged those peddling the allegations to come up with evidence, stressing that he is ready to quit the race if the allegation is proven to be true. He said, “I don’t even have N2bn let alone giving anybody such money. What am I giving them N2bn for? They are clergymen, they should be praying for the country and they don’t need money to do that.

“I believe that the clergymen also have a problem. Their followers are suffering so they want good governance. Why should I give them money? They should give me money to be able to support me in terms of being able to run around for my campaigns. “I can comfortably tell you that I have never given one Naira to CAN and if anybody can prove that I gave one Naira to CAN, I will stop running”.

Hope the DSS would also invite Pastor Frank Onwumere as they did FFK. It is equally serious to get a Religious Body involved in our volatile politics.

I tried to post the video of the said clergyman as he debunked the nonsense APC propaganda, but it seems impossible to post videos on this comment section. That Senior Advocate of Nonsense that carried that fake news should be invited for questioning.

How do we know you also didn't use an SPV? Especially, one domiciled in Panama? Good though if the allegation is false. We are in the season of them.
