Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre is trending on social media over a video showing the moment he turned down a N30 million donation from the representatives of Kebbi state governor, Nasir Idris.

Enenche, who donated to the people of Benue state, advised that the funds be directed to orphanages or other charitable causes while turning down the donation.

The gesture took place during a large outdoor evangelical crusade held in Kebbi state.

The viral video showed the moment a representative of the Kebbi governor announced the N30 million cash gift as a token of appreciation for Enenche’s visit and spiritual outreach in the state.

However, the clergyman, who was spotted with his wife, politely declined the offer on stage. While acknowledging and appreciating the governor’s generosity, Enenche stated that the church would not accept the money.

In return, the governor’s representative also appreciated Enenche for his humility and commitment to the gospel.

"Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oyakhilome, Okonkwo would have collected that money. I like the fact that it was rejected publicly. Kerbing state needs the money. Besides it is stolen money. Rogues!"

The event where Dr. Paul Enenche and his wife rejected a 30-million-naira donation from the Kebbi State Governor occurred on June 18, 2025, during the Day 2 Evening Session of the Kebbi Healing and Deliverance Crusade at Haliru Abdu Stadium, Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria.

"Enenche is a man of principle. His action yesterday was a gospel preached to the state. Christians should learn to take a stand from the place of power and authority. Enough of this beggarly attitude."

Legit.ng previously reported that Enenche reacted after two of his former ministers spoke against him and his church.

One of the former Dunamis pastors who attacked the general overseer now identifies as a humanist.

Another former pastor listed several clergymen who left Dunamis and questioned the church's governing principles.
