‘Give money to orphanage’: Pastor Enenche rejects N30m gift from governor

The founder of Abuja-based Dunamis Christian Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has rejected a N30 million gift from Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris.

The money was recently offered to the pastor by a representative of the governor at an outdoor evangelical programme organised by the church in Kebbi State.

The representative who was given the opportunity to address the crowd of worshippers at the crusade ground said he was pleased to announce the gift of the sum of N30 million to the gathering as directed by the governor.

A viral video showed the representative saying the governor appreciated the visit of Pastor Enenche and the fact that he came to Kebbi State to hold an evangelical programme.

He therefore announced the donation of the money to the gathering, saying Idris was pleased to release the sum of N30 million to the worshippers.

The governor’s representative further disclosed that the money was available in cash and that he was ready to hand it over to the church.

But in a swift response, Enenche who was obviously taken aback by the gesture said the church would not accept such money.

Enenche, who commended the governor for his heart of generosity, insisted that the church would not want such money.

The cleric suggested to the governor’s representative to give the said amount to an orphanage or any other institution in Kebbi State.

Responding, the representative thanked Pastor Enenche for his selflessness and his devotion to the cause of God.
