The All Progressives Congress (APC), has called on the Department of State Services(DSS), to invite the General Overseer of Dunamis Church — Pastor Paul Enenche, over his ‘inciting sermon’ on the pulpit last Sunday.
Also, the APC PCC requested that security forces detain Dino Melaye and Dele Momodu the, two PDP spokespersons, for allegedly trying to inflame the political climate with their statements.
Dele Alake, Special Advisor on Media and Strategic Communications for the PCC, made the call on Monday at a press conference in Abuja.
He said, “We note with utmost concern those inciting comments and call to violence by some spokespersons for the opposition, especially those from the Peoples Democratic Party. We are particularly concerned and call on the State Security Services and the Nigeria Police Force to immediately restrain persons such as Dino Melaye, Dele Momodu and a certain Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis Church from their clear call to violence.
“How can a supposed man of God be issuing threat on the pulpit because the person he and his brother endorsed is not winning? How can you desecrate the sanctity of the pulpit on the altar of partisanship? That is an abomination.
“Melaye’s tweet threatening violence, Momodu going on the TV to announce a purported winner and Enenche’s hate speech from the pulpit violate every law of the land. They should not go scot-free. The Christians community in this nation should even rise up to call him to order before the invitation by security agencies. We encourage the DSS to do their work by apprehending and restraining these people calling for violence to reduce the tension.”
Recall that Pastor Paul Enenche openly threw his support behind Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, a few days before the presidential elections took precedence.
