Deliberating on Everything Catholic

Bishop John Ebebe Ayah, the Catholic Bishop of Uyo Diocese, gave reasons for rejecting Governor Ben Ayade’s largesse during a Thanksgiving Mass held on Sunday, August 7, 2022, in Calabar.

During the Mass which was held at the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Ikot Ansa, Calabar, Bishop Ayah subtly shunned the irresistible ‘whispered package’ of the governor to the bewilderment of the congregation and everyone else in Church.



This took place at the Thanksgiving Mass for Justice Emmanuel Agim Akomaye, who was recently promoted to the rank of Judge of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.



According to Vanguard, Gov. Ayade who was a special guest of honour at the event, was invited to make a donation in support of the Church’s 2022 Harvest unveiling.



The governor made a donation of 25 million Naira(approximately $60,000), on behalf of the State government, his family and the judiciary.



“You are our pride, the pride of Cross River North, the son of the soil, Bishop John Ayah, I will whisper my package to you later.



In response, the Bishop told the governor that he wants to express himself while acknowledging that he was his brother from Northern Cross River.



“I want to talk. The governor is my brother, we are both from Cross River North. I want to appreciate the governor and tell him to package whatever he has for me, add to it and use it to pay the salaries of the workers,” Bishop Ayah said.



Vanguard gathered that the Bishop received thunderous ovation from the congregation and everyone which took minutes to die down.
