Catholic Bishop of Uyo Diocese, John Ebebe Ayah recently turned down an offer from the Cross Rivers State Governor, Ben Ayade to his church.
In a the video shared online, Ayade who was a special guest of honour in the church service in Calabar made a donation of N25 million to the church.
After announcing the donation which he made on behalf of ‘the people of the state, the state government, his family, Chief Justice of Nigeria, and the entire judiciary,’ he went on to hail the clergyman, who is a Bishop, as the ”Pride of Northern Cross River state”.
He then stated that he has a ”Whisper” for the Bishop afterward.
While the anchor of the church program was praying that God will divinely ”Whisper” to every member of the church, the Bishop took hold of the microphone and then asked the Governor to use whatever he wanted to gift him to pay salaries.
”I want to thank my amiable Governor. He is my brother. We are from the same part of the state.
“We will whisper to him later, whatever he wants to give to me, let him put that package together and pay salaries” he said to the cheering of his congregation.
