CAN Speaks On Controversial N30m Gifts To Pastor Enenche
From Ayodele Ajoge, Birnin-Kebbi
The Kebbi State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under the leadership of Venerable Dr. Ayuba Kanta, has debunked the allegation on social media that Dr. Paul Enenche the General Oversear of the Dunamis Church International rejected the sun of N30 million given to him to support his two days evangelical Crusade mission to Kebbi State.
In a Press statement signed by the State CAN Secretary, Mr. Williams Adamu and made available to Journalists, the Association made it clear to the general public and the State Government that “the gift of N30m from the State Government was in support of the 2 days statewide Kebbi State Healing and Delverance crusade in Birnin Kebbi organized by Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) in collaboration with the State Chapter of CAN”.
The statement also added that “the State CAN also wishes to inform the general public that it is the personal ethics of Pastor Dr. Paul Enenche not to receive gifts wherever he goes for his evangelical functions or philanthropic activities.
“Therefore, the clergyman advised that the gift be used at the discretion of the State CAN leadership for CAN developmental projects in the State.
“With this, the State CAN wishes to also inform that the monetary gift has been redirected to the perimeter fencing of the Christian cemetery approved by His Excellency the Executive Governor of Kebbi State, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris.
“We want to use this medium to thank the Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris (Kauran Gwandu) for the approval of the Christian Cemetary in the State Capital and for releasing the State Stadium for the 2 days crusade and, the banquet hall of the Presidential Lodge for the Ministers’ meeting and distribution of palliatives to students and women.” The ststement read.
It would be recalled that since the creation of Kebbi State 19 years ago Governor Idris has been the only Governor who has shown compassion with the Christian body in the State by approving land for cemetary to bury their dead.
