Governor Dave Umahi Splashes N500M On Pastors

October 24, 2018

The governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, on Tuesday empowered pastors under his divine mandate campaign platform and members of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN in the state, with N500 million.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the divine mandate pastors received N250million with each of the over 2,500 members, receiving N100,000 each while the five blocs of CAN shared N250 million.

Mr Umahi said during the disbursement, that he decided to empower them in realization that pastors and other members of the clergy were not exempted from the harsh challenges of life.

“One of the pastors sent me a text message that though they receive stipends to help in their monthly prayers, they were not Okada (commercial motorcycle) riders.

“I told him that I didn’t know they get stipends and cautioned that he may be one of those who graduated from school, didn’t secure a job and believe that ‘pastoring’ was an easy way of life,” he said.

The governor noted that temptation, poverty, idleness and lack of knowledge do not know who a pastor is, as human challenges are products of the environment.

“It is therefore important that every pastor must be doing something because when you get involved in business, you will get more experience and training to mediate among brethren.

“Let this fund be a mustard seed and if it is too small to start something, aggregate it as I believe that the over N500 million we are disbursing presently would yield over N4 billion in two years,” he said.

He recalled that the pastors have been praying for his gubernatorial ambition not to be given cars and money but for good governance.

“Your prayers are not debts unto us, don’t feel that you worked for me and got no reward but realise that your rewards are of compound interests before God.

“Money is however highly needed in the present day evangelism because if you are preaching to a hungry person and is not properly dressed, he will not believe you.

“He will say if God can do what you claim, why hasn’t he done it for you and people disbelieve native doctors because they would claim to make one rich yet dress in rags,” he said.

Mr Umahi noted that the pastors, CAN members, over 5, 000 empowered widows, government officials among others, would participate at the flag off of his campaign rally on Nov. 18, at the Pa Ngele Oruta stadium.

“We would fast from 8.am to 6.pm on that day with the divine mandate pastors from the 13 Local Government Areas of the state, subsequently fasting and praying for election successes in the state and country.”

Eunice Oyeyemi, Coordinator of the divine mandate pastors, said that the prayer team was borne from the governor’s initiative and absolute trust in God for wisdom and direction.

“The governor is like the biblical King David who will not go into any battle until he has heard from God as he believes in the prayers of genuine men of God.

“These pastors devout their time and pray across the 13 LGA for the government while mobilising their faithful to regular praise nights and other activities of the government,” she said.

She noted that the empowerment would bring smiles and encourage the pastors who have been interceding for the government since its days of struggle till now.

“The governor believes that we should not depend on our churches and people around us for survival as we have our Permanent Voters Cards (PVC) to deliver on our mandate,” she said.

Rev. Fr Abraham Nwali, the chairman of CAN in Ebonyi thanked the governor for the gesture and pledged the continued prayers and support of the church to his administration.

Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s Prophecy Fulfilled: Alhaji Muyideen Bello Passes Away

Yet Another Fulfilled Prophecy: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo Predicts the Death of Renowned Islamic Scholar, Alhaji Muyideen Bello

Sahara Weekly Reports That Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, the Lead Pastor and Founder of the Oneness in Christ Ministry and Shepherd of CCC Living Grace Tabernacle, has once again seen one of his prophecies come to pass. The man of God had previously foretold the passing of a prominent figure in Nigeria, a prophecy that has now been fulfilled.

During one of his open-air crusades, Prophet Kingsley Aitafo revealed a vision in which he saw the departure of a great individual. He noted that the event would leave the nation in awe and shock. He prophesied that this occurrence would take place before the 17th of January, 2024.

These were his exact words:

“I don’t know what is about to happen in Nigeria, but write it down: between now and the 17th of January, something will happen that will shake the nation. A great or big name in Nigeria is already passing by, and it will leave the country in shock. When you observe the weather, it is already giving signs. I don’t know who the individual is—it might be one of the kings, a great man of God, or one of the prominent businessmen. This individual is aged, and their passing will shake Nigeria. From now to the 17th of January, 2024, what I am saying will come to pass. Although there is grace that it might not happen, in the spirit realm, I see it as already done.”

On December 6, 2024, the prophecy was fulfilled with the passing of renowned Islamic scholar Alhaji Muyideen Bello. At the age of 84, Alhaji Bello, a revered figure in the Muslim community, succumbed to the will of God. He was widely known for his profound teachings and unwavering dedication to Islamic scholarship.

The announcement of his demise was made on Friday morning by another prominent Islamic scholar, Alfa Aribidesi of At-Tawdeeh Islamic Da’awah. The Muslim community is currently mourning the loss of one of its most respected and beloved figures.

Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, however, clarified that his prophecies are not meant to instill fear but to convey the will of the Almighty God. According to him, the spiritual realm had already confirmed the event, marking it as inevitable.
