Gospel singer Lara George has criticised Pastor Paul Enenche, the founder of Dunamis Church, over his ‘weak’ apology to Anyim Veronica, the lady he humiliated in front of his congregation.
She insisted that his apology should match the volume of his rebuke.
Pastor Enenche sparked a firestorm on social media when he publicly berated Veronica in his church for what he perceived as a false testimony.
The church issued a statement addressing the incident, and Pastor Paul Enenche, accompanied by his wife Becky, reportedly met with Vera to discuss the matter, eventually agreeing to sweep the incident under the rug.
Lara George expressed dissatisfaction, arguing that the church’s statement lacked a sincere apology.
She emphasised that Pastor Enenche should offer a proper apology to the lady who endured the embarrassment, rather than attempting to simply move past the incident without addressing its impact.
She wrote on Instagram: “Erm. That’s not an apology. When it leaves room for doubt, you haven’t apologized. WWJD?
“Be humble enough to apologise to her properly.Let your apology be as loud and as clear as your criticism.
“Nah! It’s not nice. Doesn’t matter who you are, we should all treat others as we would like to be treated. She doesn’t speak as well as you think she should, therefore you can conclude she is telling a lie? Based on the way she speaks?
“The way she speaks is a reflection of what we have allowed in our society. Every politician that you coddled instead of speaking the truth to, who stole funds that should have gone into healthcare, or education, or any other public welfare initiative…… well…… that’s the outcome. Graduates who speak like that. And you…. contributed to the condition of that society. The contributions from people like her is what has built the edifice you sit in. And while you sit there, we don’t hear you speak for the voiceless or defend the helpless.
“Nah. It’s not nice. Apologize to her properly. Unequivocally. That write-up that you had your people do, is really an insult on top of her injury. You know this. You would never dare address the matter that way if she was from a wealthy background.
“At the end of the day, the way you treat someone who you think you will never need is the true indicator of your character”. (Nation)
