The National Vice-President, South-South, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Dr.Simeon Okah, has described the N6bn largess alleged by the River State Governor Rotimi Amaechi to have been given to the Christian Association of Nigeria as a mockery on spiritual leaders.







He called on Amaechi and those making the allegation against Christian leaders to shut up and stop making such claims before they incur the wrath of God.















Okah spoke in Calabar at the Christian Central Chapel on Sunday during the inauguration of the Cross River State chapter of the PFN.







He said it was not true that the Federal Government gave the leadership of CAN the sum of N6bn to curry the support of the clergy men for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid.







Okah said, “When I read the report, I called Dr. Okoye, who is the Aso Rock Pastor when Obasanjo was president to find out the veracity of the newspaper reports and he said it was not true.







“I call on those making such allegations to prove their case or repent before they incur the wrath of God on themselves.”







He said as a Christian, Amaechi should know the implication of such allegation on spiritual leaders.







“If Amaechi is a Christian that he claims to be, he knows the implication of making such allegation against people who are his spiritual leaders. This issue is beyond politics and I thought that Amaechi who is a Christian knows the implication of making such allegation and I call on him to name the people the money was given to or shut up,” he said.







Shortly before the inauguration, Oka had urged those handling the affairs of the fellowship to be passionate and prepared to commit themselves to the welfare of the fellowship.







“This inauguration conveys on you the instrument of authority to carry out the purpose of Christian work and uphold the standard of the faith,” he said.







In his inaugural speech, the new President of the Cross River chapter of PFN, Pastor Lawrence Ekwok, said the fellowship would weed out fake pastors whom he said were giving Christianity bad image.







Ekwok said, “Some pastors are getting involved in occult and diabolical practices by contacting herbalists to prepare charms for them while others engage in fake prophesies, all these give the church a fake image.”
