Apostle Essien Ayi, the Senior Pastor of the Peniel Church of God in Calabar, has donated one million Naira for the completion of a central mosque and Islamic Centre in Calabar, the capital city of Cross River State.

Ayi who is also a politician representing Akpabuyo/Bakassi/Calabar-South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, said Nigerians should be their brothers’ keepers, irrespective of religion.

The cleric and lawmaker, who made the cash donation at Gbogobiri, a Hausa settlement in Calabar, said the gesture was also to appreciate the support he has enjoyed from them.

He said:

“Every human being whether Christian or Muslim believes in God, a creator. The religion may be different. The mode of practicing may be different, but it is tilted towards one being, which is God.

“Also the Muslim society has been very supportive of me right from when I was chairman and they informed me that their former mosque had been demolished and they are trying to erect a new and befitting mosque. I feel as a representative, they too are my constituents. I am bound to make a token donation towards the completion of that mosque. We should be be our brothers’ keepers. We are all Nigerians irrespective of our religion.”

unprecedented

See him face, typical politician, so no xtains who are suffering in his church he can give the money to?

the move is more political

He is a Pastor of The New Movement called C H R I S L A M. The Man like Jesus and endevouring to know Him better. He is reconciling Christianity, Moslems and Muslims with Islam. May God authorise and approve his actions in Jesus Name!!!

God will bless this pastor for this great work he has done!

May God bless people like these in our society

He is not an Atheist and he is better than Otem-Atum who is just confusing Greek Myths with Christianity.

This is called Religous Collabo

Who knows his plan?

may God bless him with more millions on this noble act.

That's common in South West

Kudos to him

Use the money to empower poor folks and leave religion alone

Stupid man, I swear you never visit North to see what these people are doing Christians and your here using tithe money promote Antichrist, jihad.

LadyF so you are still on this platform? I miss that comment it's ladyF again

Sake for politics

I clapped for his gesture until I read the part that read: "...who is also a politician." I immediately withdrew my claps.

Anyone in calabar knows that Essien Ayi is a full time politician and not a Pastor.

At least he was a bit plain...

Well, we need religious tolerance in this country. good move

This one is just a pure politician. Pastor donating money to build a Mosque? That is not religious tolerance that is Anti Christ. How does that propagate the Gospel? This one is not a pastor at all. He's working against the faith and only looking for votes.

He is not a pastor, he is a politician.

how many people will the money feed? You will still be the one to say he shared garri to 20000 people.. Have you heard the saying that religion is the opium of the masses? If you can't save them, give the hope!

Sadists everywhere

Attention seeker,we see you.
