The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has turned down a N30 million donation from Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State, urging instead that the funds be directed to orphanages or other charitable causes.
The gesture occurred during a large outdoor evangelical crusade recently held by the church in Kebbi State.
A representative of the governor, who addressed the crowd at the event, announced the N30 million cash gift as a show of appreciation from Governor Idris for Pastor Enenche’s visit and spiritual outreach.
The governor, who was represented by the Commissioner for Social Duties in Kebbi State, Zayyanu Umar Aliero, stated that the donation was available in cash and ready to be handed over to the church.
However, Pastor Enenche, visibly surprised, politely declined the offer on stage. While acknowledging and appreciating the governor’s generosity, he maintained that the church would not accept the money.
“We sincerely appreciate the gesture and the governor’s generous heart.
“But we will not take this money. Please channel it instead to orphanages or any other charitable institution of your choice,” Enenche said.
The governor’s representative thanked Pastor Enenche for his humility and commitment to the gospel, accepting the pastor’s request with grace.
The moment has since sparked widespread praise on social media, with many commending Enenche for his integrity and refusal to accept government funds during a spiritual gathering.
