Church in Crises over N5m Donation!!
The tension was said
to have been caused by the alleged demotion of the Vicar of the church, Rev.
Mike Ogunniyi, by the Bishop of Ekiti West Anglican Diocese, Bishop Oludare
Oke.
It was learnt that
the demotion was caused by Oke’s opposition to the way the reverend
administered a N5m donation to the church by Governor Kayode Fayemi.
The governor donated
N5m to the church on January 25 during the funeral for the late Archbishop
Abiodun Adetiloye, who was an indigene of the town.
Fayemi had said the
money should be used for the furtherance of the gospel which Adetiloye lived
and died for.
It was learnt that
the bishop had ordered that the money should be deposited in a special fixed
account, as an endowment fund.
The bishop’s order
was said to have been given in anticipation that the money would yield an
interest which would also be useful to the church.
It was gathered that
Ogunniyi, in consultation with the leaders of the church, however, ignored the
order and bought a N3m bus for evangelism, spent N1m on the renovation of the
church and deposited the balance in the church’s account.
The actions were said to have provoked the
bishop, who slammed him with a demotion from the position of archdeacon to a
canon “for spending the church’s money without an approval”.
