According to Vanguard, one of the pastors he implicated in the alleged, bribery scandal, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel in an interview said Dikwa had apologized to the pastors he offended.
Recall that during the electioneering campaign leading to the 2015 elections, Musa Dikwa addressed a press conference in which he claimed three ministers of the gospel, the president of CAN (Pritsejafor), Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor Bosun Emmanuel received N7 billion from the Jonathan administration to mobilise ministers of the gospel nationwide to campaign for his re-election.
Dikwa alleged that the CAN leadership received the funds on 21st of January, 2015, and gave N3 million to each of its state chapters.
He said the CAN leadership distributed to its national membership a small fraction of what it received, keeping to itself well over N6 billion.

In another development, Bishop David Oyedepo has challenged the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to proffer solutions to the socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria rather than blaming any political party or individual for the current travails facing the nation.
Speaking with journalist at the fifth founder’s day celebration of the private university he established in Omu Aran, the bishop noted that things had not been working well in the country.
But he said there is no point pointing accusing fingers at others for the current problems in Nigeria because every individual has a role to play in helping the country recover its dignity.
