Gospel Singer Lara George Calls for Public Apology from Pastor Paul Enenche to Anyim Vera.
Nigerian gospel singer Lara George has taken a strong stand, demanding that Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis Church issue a public apology to Anyim Vera for what George describes as a public embarrassment during a church service.
The controversy began when Pastor Enenche rebuked Vera Anyim in front of his congregation for giving what he deemed a false testimony, an incident that quickly spiraled into viral status on social media, drawing widespread commentary.
In response to the backlash, Dunamis Church issued a statement, and Pastor Enenche, along with his wife Becky, reportedly met privately with Vera Anyim. According to the church’s statement, the matter was resolved internally with promises to “sweep everything under the carpet.” However, details of the meeting or the terms of any reconciliation were not publicly disclosed.
Lara George, upon reviewing the church’s response, criticized it for not adequately addressing the humiliation suffered by Anyim. George took to social media to express her discontent, stating that the church’s statement fell short of a genuine apology and likened it to “an insult upon an injury.”
“The public nature of the embarrassment warrants a public apology,” George argued. “What was posted by the church does not constitute an apology, and it certainly does not repair the damage done to Vera’s dignity in front of her church community and the wider public watching online.”
Here is what Lara George said:
“Erm. That’s not an apology. When it leaves room for doubt, you haven’t apologized. WWJD?Be humble enough to apologize 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”.
As of now, Pastor Paul Enenche has not responded to Lara George’s call for a public apology. The situation remains a focal point of discussion among followers and observers, with many waiting to see if further actions will be taken to address the grievances aired by George and shared by others sympathetic to Anyim Vera’s situation.
