“Every time you guys keep criticising pastors on social media without even knowing the true story that lies within.
The pastor who was said to have cancelled a wedding last week or so in Port Harcourt is dead now.
“The pastor has been battling with his health. He was in Abuja receiving treatment but managed to travel down to Port Harcourt just to conduct that wedding.
“Unfortunately, the couples didn’t show up on time and he became weak that he couldn’t stay in the church hall again and he went to his office.
“When the couple finally arrived, he asked them to be joined right in his office which the groom declined. They posted on social media that the pastor cancelled their wedding, but they never cared about the pastor’s health.
“Selfish people everywhere!!!
All of you think pastors are not humans. I keep telling pastors to spend time on themselves because the members they are trying to please now once they die they will enter the next church…I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAPPY NOW THE MAN IS DEAD? WICKED GENERATION! “
