Catholic Bishop of Uyo Diocese, John Ebebe Ayah recently turned down an offer from the Cross Rivers State Governor, Ben Ayade to his church. He advised the Governor to use the money to pay the salaries of workers in the state.'
his was captured in a viral video online.
Governor Ayade of Cross Rivers State made a donation of N25 million on behalf of the state government, his family and the judiciary. He was a special guest of honour in the church service in Calabar.
Almost immediately, the Bishop requested to respond to the gesture and the Governor's speech.
Bishop Ayah expressed appreciation to the governor and urged him to use the money to pay workers’ salaries.
The members of the congregation were surprised but applauded the Bishop for his remark via a round of applause.
The Bishop said: “I want to talk. The governor is my brother, we are both from Cross River North. I want to appreciate the governor and tell him to package whatever he has for me, add to it and use it to pay the salaries of the workers.”
Kudos to the Bishop and hopefully the governor will heed the bishop's advice and do the needful.
