Herdsmen killing: Pastor Enenche attacks Presidency over ‘land for life’ comment

Published

on

Pastor Paul Enenche of the Dunamis International Gospel Center (DIGC) has blasted the Federal government for asking Nigerians to donate land for ranching to prevent deaths.

Dr. Enenche was reacting to a statement recently credited to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina that “You can only have ancestral attachment when you are alive. If you are talking about ancestral attachment if you are dead, how does the attachment matter.”

Responding to the statement, Enenche described Adesina’s comment as symptoms of primitivity of mentality, primordial sensibility, retrogressive discretion, bankruptcy of ideology and cerebral sclerosis.”

Speaking during a morning service in Abuja, Enenche said, “It is an insult on our collective sensibility for anyone to suggest that the killing of innocent Nigerians is justifiable if cattle colony is not accepted.

“What a senseless, useless, worthless suggestion! Such quality of suggestions are only symptoms of primitivity of mentality, primordial sensibility, retrogressive discretion, bankruptcy of ideology and cerebral sclerosis.”

The General Overseer added that “It is therapeutic failure at the highest level for when drugs expire; they can neither remedy nor be remedied. God is on the throne and it shall not happen.”

Enenche’s remark is coming at a time the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, lambasted the Presidency for making such comment, saying Nigeria was now worse than an animal farm.
