Wike Defies Enenche's Request Against Politics at Church Event

On Friday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), expressed his disagreement with Pastor Paul Enenche, founder of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, regarding the discussion of politics during the commissioning of a pedestrian flyover at the church's headquarters in Abuja. Wike recounted how Enenche had advised him against political campaigning at the event.

He asserted that addressing issues of bad governance in a church context is inherently political. Wike emphasized that he would not refrain from discussing politics, stating, “commissioning a project like this is not something we’ll just come and thank God and go.” He also mentioned his first encounter with Enenche and his wife in 2015 when he invited them to an event for year-end praise and thanksgiving.
