A group of over 500 Pastors, know as The Divine Mandate Pastors that worked for the emergence of Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, has descended into crisis.
The peace that existed among the pastors crumbled on Sunday, Premium Times report.
A leadership crisis suddenly split the group as the pastors met at the Pastoral Centre, Mile 50 Abakaliki.
The meeting became acrimonious when a faction announced the removal of Director Ephraim Ononye and immediately replaced him with Ifeanyi Igwe.
The Senior Special Adviser to Governor Umahi on Religion and Welfare matters, Abraham Nwali, attended the meeting.
It was gathered that the pastors nearly exchanged blows at the meeting when the issue was being discussed prompting Mr. Nwali to hurriedly say a closing prayer to end the meeting.
Addressing reporters in Abakaliki, the Senior Special Adviser to Governor Umahi on religion and Welfare matters, Mr. Nwali, described the leadership crisis as a family rift.
‘’Since the divine mandate pastors were founded at the discretion of the Governor, there will not be reshufflement of any sort without his consent,” Mr. Nwali said.
