The Assemblies of God Church has
announced the excommunication of its past
General Superintendent, Rev. Paul Emeka,
from the church
But reacting to the development, Emeka
revealed that the action was a “coup.”
While announcing the removal of its spiritual
leader’s dismissal from the ministry with his
pastoral certificate withdrawn, the church
also announced the emergence of Rev. Chidi
Okoroafor as the new General
Superintendent of the church.
He was elected alongside three other
principal officials and fifteen zonal
representatives to form the new Executive
Council of the church for the next four
years.
The decisions were part of the resolutions
reached by over 7,000 delegates of the
church at the General Council meeting at its
Evangel Camp, Okpoko in Ebonyi State.
At the council meeting, held every four years,
the delegates reportedly decided on the
excommunication after concluding that the
ex-spiritual leader “had dragged the name
of the church in the mud by instituting legal
suits and using law enforcement agencies to
witch-hunt some of their leaders.”
According to the Legal Adviser of the
church, Barrister Abuka, the dismissal of
Emeka was necessary and had paved the
way to institute litigation against the former
general superintendent, who was alleged to
be “making moves with some members to
take over the church.”
The church also claimed he was working
with other alleged collaborators believed to
be working at cross-purposes with the
church’s leadership.
Commenting on the crisis rocking the
church, Okoroafor said the measures were
necessary to remove those whom he
described as “dissidents bent on frustrating
progress” in the church.
He confirmed that legal actions would be
taken against Emeka and others seeking to
take over the church through lawsuits.
Justifying the reasons for this, the new
general superintendent said, “We cannot
spiritualise legal issues. You can’t just be
praying when somebody is taking you to
courts. We would no long keep quiet and
allow our property taken over or our
accounts fraudulently run by them.”
He pointed out that the church had
identified constitutional loopholes that
Emeka and other capitalised on, stating that
such sections would be properly addressed
when an emergency council meeting holds
next year.
However, the excommunicated general
superintendent stated that he stood for
reconciliation. According to him, the church
has been embroiled in some crises in which
a former Governor of Ebonyi State, Sam
Egwu and the Pentecostal Fellowship of
Nigeria intervened in the matter.
Emeka said, “By announcing my
excommunication from the church, they are
trying to instill fear into people so that they
can distance themselves from me. I stand
for reconciliation. I have committed no
offence.
“But, some people in the church organised
an illegal election to remove me by force
from office. They would not allow me to
complete my four-year tenure in office which
started in 2010. They are even threatening
my life. I have petitioned the Inspector-
General of Police on that.”

Oh blimey you? All these while I actually thought you are a Muslim. Now I know, how was Church today bro?

I believe in the leadership of Rev. Chidi Okoroafor...

The Reverend is a good teacher of the WORD. Some of his messages on tape are: "Are will still brethren; So you later come here etc."

Politics and deception in God's house did not start today. It is only God that knows His own. All these churches have turned into megalomaniac conglomerations where the incessant hankering for positions and lucre have become rife.

Satan should not be allowed to have a strong hold on the Church

Lobatan!!!!!! coup for church...whats the way forward?

Greed and materialism is too common with some people.

I shame for my church

Is it consequential for a minister to sue a church he's pastoring to court? God owns the church and the gate of hell shall never prevail against it.

Awon apere igbeyin aye!

Imagine Rev. Paul Emeka trying to privatize a church that is older than him...This is Assemblies of God church. .All the Gospel. .Don't privatize it, it is not Electricity distribution

To be candid, my heart breaks for AG.
I just wish God will descend on all these preachers that have refused to join PDP and APC, but will rather bring their political prowess in to God's house.
