Senior Pastor of Shekinah Global Ministries, Rev Danjuma Byang, has denied news reports circulating on social media that he admitted collecting millions of Naira as ‘transport money’ from Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress when the Northern Pentecostal Bishops hosted him in Abuja.
Byang in a statement in Jos, the Plateau State capital, expressed shock that the reports also alleged that he said Tinubu gave Archbishop John Praise Daniel N100 million, while other bishops in attendance collected monies ranging from 50 million, 20 million and 10 million depending on their ranks.
He added, “I wish to put it on record that I did not write or say anything like that anywhere or to anyone.”
“For avoidance of doubt, I did not say I regretted collecting any money from Tinubu. And I did not say anybody collected any money from Tinubu. I did not collect any such money and I didn’t see anyone collecting it,” Byang stressed
He said the reports credited to him were tissues of lies from the enemies of the gospel, calculated to tarnish his reputation and that of the conveners of the meeting.
