The Senior Pastor and general overseer of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has turned down a cash gesture of N30 million by the Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris.

This happened during pastor Enenche’s Healing and Deliverance Crusade in Kebbi state, a footage of which NEWSMAXNG saw on Thursday.

The state governor had, through the Commissioner for Social Duties, Zayyanu Umar Aliero, announced that he would be donating N30m cash to the organizing committee of the crusade.

Aliero said, “Our Governor, His Excellency Dr Nasir Idris, a faithful Governor and also a Comrade Governor, who you all know is the only Comrade Governor in this country. He has therefore graciously approved the donation of the sum of 30 million naira to this gathering.

“That is to the organising committee. His Excellency has approved the donation of a sum of 30 million naira to the organising committee, which you know that whenever His Excellency makes a donation, he doesn’t leave without bringing that donation in cash. So before I leave this stage, I want to present that sum of 30 million naira in cash.”

A gesture to which Enenche rejected urging that government fund be used for government projects to benefit the citizens. He further noted that the body of Christ has enough trust in God for supernatural supplies.

He said; “We are not a government agency, maybe you can channel the money to other government bodies like the Christian pilgrims board. If there is anything like orphanage, if there is anything like that, at your discretion, please apply this amount of money to it. We receive the money, but we return it back.

“We are one of those who believe that government money should be used for government projects and government things should be used for government things; and church money should be used for church things, not mixed together.

“That is what we did that is what we do. As small as the Glory Dome is right there, government money is not in it. From land to the building to everything.

“This is so that we can retain our dignity as a body of Christ; retain our dignity as a church, and say what we need to say when we need to say it. And be able to say what we need to say when we need to say it.

Agreeing with the rejection, Aliero acknowledged that the senior pastor is right to reject the gift stating that ‘he is doing what he is doing for the sake of God’.
