The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Friday disagreed with the founder of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Pastor Paul Enenche, over not campaigning or discussing politics during the commissioning of a pedestrian flyover the church built at its headquarters in Abuja.
Wike, while speaking at the event, recalled how Enenche cautioned him against talking about politics during the commissioning.
Wike informed Enenche that preaching about bad governance in his church is politics.
The Minister added that asking him not to talk about politics will never happen.
He said, “The Chairman of AMAC, even though I have been asked by Pastor Paul Enenche not to campaign here, I already told him some weeks ago at the Idoma Hall of Fame event while delivering a paper that I was coming to use it as an opportunity, even in the church when he preaches, he talks about bad governance and that is politics.
“So, commissioning a project like this is not something we’ll just come and thank God and go. No, it’s not going to work.
“Let me say clearly and for the society to hear, when I was governor in 2015, that was my first time I had an encounter with Paul Enenche and his wife.
“I invited him for the year ending, praising singing and thanking God and that was my first encounter with them.”
