Bishop Dami Mamza
The Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese and Chairman of CAN in Adamawa state, Most Rev. Bishop Dami Mamza has urged Nigeria’s anti corruption agencies including Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to beam their klieg lights on Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission over massive irregularities taking place.
Mamza who expressed dismay over the malfeasance taking place in the commission, said, he has no option other than to spill the beans as his conscience will not allow him to keep quiet and watch the ruination of the commission.
The cleric who issued the strong worded reservation against the executive secretary of the commission, Rev. Yakubu Pam in Yola, on Thursday, said the executive secretary is a disappointment to Christianity and urged him to immediately resign from office to save the commission from an impending doom.
the federal government to consider someone with character deficit ike Pam to man such important organ adding that the misconduct of Pam is causing the commission a sublime disrepute.
“What do you expect from somebody that has been sacked from his church? And then he is given that kind of appointment. He is a disappointment to christians. If you are going to give someone appointment even if it is a political appointment find out the track record of that person. This is someone that has no church. Assemblies of God Church has sacked him and FG appointed him. This is an embarrassment,” he said.
He accused Pam of sabotaging plans by Adamawa pilgrims commission to organize a smooth pilgrimage for selfish reasons noting that after taking over the operations, he messed everything up.
“The first arrangement we made was perfect but Yakubu Pam frustrated it becaus money did not go through him. He came severally to Adamawa State and people begged him to allow us to go. He insisted and even wrote to Italian embassy to deny us visa and then at the end of the day everything was submitted to him and he got us int this mess.
“If the whole thing happened the way it was initially organized, nothing would have happened because he insisted that every pilgrim those that are travelling in large numbers must pass through the Nigerian christians pilgrimage commission which is right. There are others that pay but couldn’t get accomodation what happened to their money?
“We cannot continue to keep silent. We don’t know what will happen because even the chairman of the commission said that christian Pilgrimage should be suspended. I saw letters by the chairman asking Yakubu Pam to explain things. So things are not in order,” he added.
Mamza noted that the vibes and ripples from all the states is the same as the states also complaint of being shortchanged by the Pam led christian pilgrims commission. (knews.com.ng)
