‘They promised us N100,000, bought us food – Fake bishop opens up

According to Odaudu, he was at the car park behind Eagle Square on Wednesday when someone approached him with the offer, according to People’s Gazette.

“But after we finished, they only gave me N40,000 and another person said they got only N30,000. I don’t know why they changed our agreement, because they said they had N100,000 for us.”

The impostor, who identified himself as a Bola Tinubu supporter, said his act was only meant to show that Christians were also supporting Tinubu.

“No law was broken. We only tried to show Nigerians that Christians are solidly behind Asiwaju Tinubu,” he said.

Meanwhile, Rev. Fr. Patrick Alumuku, the spokesman of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Abuja, had earlier said the bishops who appeared in the photos circulating online were not the church’s representatives.

Alumuku said that Tinubu’s campaign team hired fake bishops to attend the event.

“We have seen the photos circulating online. They are not Catholic bishops. The Catholic Church did not send any representation to the event held today by Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima,” he was quoted to have said.

“If you look at the manner in which the imposters dressed and conducted themselves, you will see they are not Catholic Church officials.”
