EL-BUBA CLEARS AIR ON EDIFICE
BY DICKSON GUPIYA
15TH
MARCH, 2018
The General Overseer of Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministry
International (EBOMI) Prophet Isa El-Buba has debunked rumours making rounds
that his gigantic edifice situated at Kashim Ibrahim Jos was build with funds
belonging to Plateau State. Speaking to journalists in Jos yesterday, special
adviser to El-Buba, on politics, Good Governance and Foreign Affairs, who is
also the Director of Programmes, Ebomi, Pastor Chidiebere Harry Ogbamgba said
the finances of the ministry come from every single member and its global
partners from different parts of the world.
He said it has been alleged that the edifice was built with
funds belonging to Plateau State during the immediate past administration under
Jonah David Jang now a Senator of the Federal Republic. “I make bold to say
that it is not true that this edifice was built with Plateau funds. In as much
as we have the former number one citizen of this state in person of Senator
Jonah David Jang as member of this ministry its not true that he channeled
state funds for the building of this edifice. As a matter of fact, Jang has
been a member of this ministry long before he become a governor and we would
not ask him not to attend our meetings or to be part of the ministry again just
because he has become a governor. The finances of this ministry come from every
single member and our global partners from different parts of the world. So,
that is a mere accusation based on ignorance, jealousy and hear say”, said pastor
Chidiebere.
Oh another allegation that El-Buba recently resisted arrest
from security agents, Pastor Chidiebere said, “As a body of Christ, as an
institution and as God’s people, we do not only hate corruption, we abhor it
and we would stand and speak against it.
A petition was once written to the EFCC informing the agency
that the EBOMI edifice was built from proceeds of corruption. The EFCC came
here and took a look at our books and found nothing incriminating. Last time,
we had visitors from the DSS because prophet made a statement which they were
not comfortable with, so they came here around 9pm wanting to pick him. We said
no, he is not a criminal and has not been invited by the DSS or any other
security agency and he refused to honour the invitation. We are also conversant
with security situation in the country. Cases of kidnapping abounds. So even if
you want to pick him, come in he day time. They pulled out. However, the
following morning, we heard from several quarters that EFCC came to arrest the
prophet but he resisted arrest. No EFFCC came here and the prophet did not resist
arrest”.
According to the Pastor, the Ministry has not been found
wanting in any way concerning corruption adding that if the ministry is corrupt,
it wouldn’t have the boldness to confront issues of corruption bedeviling the
country frontally because according to him, “as the saying goes, he that goes
to equity does so with clean hands”.
