Following the ongoing crisis rocking the Assemblies of God Church, North-East leaders of the Church said they have resolved to throw their weight behind the embattled factional General Superintendent of their Church, Rev. Paul Emeka who filed a fresh suit at the Enugu High Court against his suspension and dismissal by a group within the Church.
They made their position known through its Spokesman, Rev. Instants Ishaya at a press conference in Jos.
Ishaya said, ‘’We are solidly behind Rev. Paul Emeka because of the truth and condemned in totality his purported suspension in strong terms.’’
Ishaya said, ‘’We are solidly behind Rev. Paul Emeka because of the truth and condemned in totality his purported suspension in strong terms.’’
He expressed worry over the breaking of the Church into two factions, out of which one belongs to Rev. Chidi Okoroafor, the former AGS, AGN led breakaway faction with eleven other executive members, while Prof. Paul Emeka remained at the National Headquarters, Enugu to lead the other faction.
Ishaya noted that the Church leaders in Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa, Yobe, Taraba and Borno States, prefer peaceful resolution of the crisis that has bedevilled their church in the last 3 years as a result of the refusal of one of the factions in the leadership crisis to accept reconciliation efforts of Christian association of Nigeria and the Pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria put together.
”The Supreme Court judgement of 24th February, 2017, did not in any way give the leadership of the church to one of the factional leaders of the church Rev. Chidi as being peddled around by his followers who are going around claiming that the Supreme Court declared Rev. Chidi winner in the judgement and now the General superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church Nigeria’’
He added that Rev. Paul Emeka was never sent packing from his official residence at Enugu, but there till today performing his official functions as the General Superintendent of the Church in Nigeria.
Ishaya maintained that the only way out of the leadership crisis bedevilling the church was for Rev. Chidi Okoroafor, and his supporters to come to the dialogue table to resolve the impasse that has lingered on the fabrics of the church since 14th March, 2014, till date.
