The President of the Christian Association of
Nigeria and founder of Warri-based Word of Life Bible Church, Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor, on Saturday joined the league of Nigerian preachers who own
private jets.
Oritsejafor’s jet, marked N431CB, was announced
to the congregation during the 40th year anniversary of the church, which
coincided with his birthday held on the church premises in Warri, Delta State.
The announcement of the 10-Seater
Bombadier/Challenger 601 Aircraft elicited a loud ovation and applause from the
congregation.
Although the cost of the aircraft was not
disclosed, an updated version of the 1994 series of the aircraft reportedly
costs $4.9m.
Jubilant worshippers spent over 15 minutes
congratulating one another, while the cleric did not make any comment on the
jet, which was said to have been purchased for him by the church.
At the event, President Goodluck Jonathan, who
was the special guest, asked Nigerians to be steadfast and seek strength in the
country’s diversity, despite the numerous challenges confronting the nation.
According to him, the country will overcome its
challenges if the people can draw positively from their areas of strength.
The President extolled the virtues of
Oritsejafor.
He said, “I can say without any equivocation that
Oritsejafor, from the very humble beginning in 1972, has moved from strength to
strength. Today, he is a Christian visionary leader who preaches the words of
God clearly and eloquently as a good shepherd, a man of vision who has served
as an interface between the country’s two major religions.
“He has earned his respect among his peers and
this explains why he is holding the two very important positions in Christendom
in Nigeria as the President of CAN, and President of Pentecostal Fellowship of
Nigeria.”
In his remarks, Oritsejafor, said if Nigeria must
reclaim its lost glory and be great again, all Nigerians must be ready to put
the nation first, and be ready to make sacrifices.
He said rather than dwelling on the things that
were capable of dividing the country, people should begin to do things that
would impact positively on the lives of the people.
*HOW COME ALL THE MEN OR PASTORS ARE GETTING
JETS?...IS THERE NO PASTOR LIVING THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST…WHO HAD NO HOUSE,
BUT SLEEPS WHERE’VER THE NIGHT CATCHES HIM?...IS THIS CORRUPTION OR LAST DAYS
EVENTS?
